About My Clients

I absolutely love working with individuals from emotionally distant households, high achievers, perfectionists, and those who support everyone else but rarely feel seen. I am trained in EMDR and also feel deeply passionate about supporting teens and women in navigating complex trauma, life transitions, relationship barriers, cultural identity and their spirituality and faith. I also enjoy working with families navigating transracial adoption.

My Background and Approach

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in various settings across the mental health field to ensure I can offer my clients the care and expertise they truly deserve. Most recently, I led clinical care as the Senior Mental Health Clinician for youth sex trafficking survivors, and much of my career has been dedicated to serving marginalized communities. My passion lies in providing compassionate and personalized therapy that honors the whole of who you are and the experiences that have shaped you. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to carry these burdens alone, and my goal is to create a safe, understanding space where you can feel heard, find clarity, and gain the tools to heal. ​​​​

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My values are foundational in the way I live my life but also how I show up in the space for my clients in their therapy. The values of trauma informed care, cultural humility, inclusivity and anti-racism are the guides to my work with our clients. I focus on helping you recognize and build upon the unique abilities, resilience and wisdom you already have and turning our focus beyond “whats wrong” to highlighting what’s right within you. I prioritize the profound and complex ways trauma can shape one’s experiences and mental health and understand how to address the root issues, beyond the symptoms of trauma. Above all else, I prioritize your safety, trustworthiness, choice and empowerment in our work together. I am dedicated to embracing and honoring our diversity and all pieces of your identity. Together, these values guide my approach to your care, creating an environment that is holistic, collaborative and grounded in social justice and anti-racism.
