About My Clients

I am honored to hold space and help adult survivors of childhood trauma (sexual/physical/psychological), intimate partner violence, and/or narcissistic abuse, navigate their healing journey. In my practice I provide LGBTQ+, culturally competent, trauma-informed therapy. I wholeheartedly believe that therapy should be a safe space for all.

My Background and Approach

In my therapeutic approach, I honor the relationship between the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that it is imperative to treat mental illness with an integrative lens, taking into account the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, and systemic factors that contribute to overall wellness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Receive care from a provider who understands the impact of oppressive systems on mental health. Feel seen, heard, and understood when discussing how this oppression has affected you physically, emotionally, and/or psychologically. Take comfort knowing you are in a safe and affirming space, where you can discuss your experiences openly and freely.
