About My Clients
I work best with clients who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Many of my clients are high-functioning externally while struggling internally with stress, burnout, people-pleasing, emotional dysregulation, or feeling disconnected from themselves. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space focused on insight, healing, emotional regulation, and lasting personal growth.
My Background and Approach
I am a doctoral level trauma-focused therapist with 10+ years of experience in settings providing trauma-informed care to adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, personality-related concerns, and the impacts of complex trauma. My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT-informed interventions, mindfulness, attachment-focused work, and trauma-informed therapy. I specialize in helping clients better understand the connection between past experiences, nervous system responses, relationship patterns, and current emotional struggles. My therapeutic style is direct, compassionate, collaborative, and focused on creating meaningful, lasting change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, person-centered lens rooted in respect, dignity, and collaboration. I believe healing happens in safe, authentic relationships where people feel seen without judgment and supported in reconnecting with themselves and their values. I am committed to culturally responsive care, inclusivity, and creating a space where clients of all identities feel welcomed and respected. I actively support social justice and advocate for equitable, affirming care, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals and communities who have historically faced barriers to accessing safe, validating mental health support. I strive to ensure therapy is a space where identity is affirmed, not pathologized. I value emotional safety, autonomy, and empowerment, and I aim to help clients build self-awareness, self-compassion, and meaningful change at their own pace.
