About My Clients

My ideal client is someone navigating the weight of past experiences as they strive to meet their goals and become their true selves. Whether you are ready to work at a gentle pace, need a private space to unpack a chaotic week from your car, or simply want to shed years of heavy shame so your authentic self can finally emerge—I'm happy to go on the journey with you.

My Background and Approach

I have over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma, complicated family dynamics, anxiety, depression, grief, and life stressors. I also love providing collaborative and compassionate gender-affirming care. I am a certified EMDR therapist and have a special interest in ADHD. Healing requires an environment where you feel secure and in control. I use approaches like EMDR and parts work in conjunction with other evidenced-based practices but you are the expert on your life. Through telehealth, you choose your space and any comforts you may need. Fur babies are always welcome. It takes immense courage to face old patterns and step into your true self. If you are tired of carrying the weight of people-pleasing, painful past chapters, or difficult family dynamics alone, please know you don't have to. Peace is possible and it matters. I am ready to walk beside you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Community activism is important to me and I believe no human is illegal, Black Lives Matter, and gender-affirming care and reproductive care are human rights. I believe we are a nation of immigrants and that immigrants have always shaped and strengthened our communities. I believe systemic police violence against our Black and Brown brothers and sisters is abhorrent and inexcusable, and we cannot build a just future until it ends. As a white therapist, I do not have the lived experience of navigating systemic racism, and I recognize the deep impact of cultural trauma and microaggressions. I strive for my practice to be a space where the heavy realities of racism are openly acknowledged, validated, and integrated into our healing work. You do not have to minimize your experiences here; I am committed to sitting with you in those realities with humility, continuous self-reflection, and absolute support.
