About My Clients

Many clients seek therapy for the effects of childhood neglect, trauma, or violence. These experiences can lead to trust issues, emotional withdrawal, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, and difficulty with boundaries or intimacy. I help you build skills to improve relationships and reclaim your sense of self.

My Background and Approach

Starting therapy is a transformative step toward mental wellness. As a trauma-informed, feminist, and social justice-oriented therapist, I specialize in counseling women and non-binary individuals of color. My expertise includes the treatment of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and the psychological effects of relational trauma. I provide culturally responsive therapy that addresses the intersection of identity and mental health, supporting clients as they navigate challenges related to systemic oppression, complex interpersonal relationships, and occupational stress. I use insight-oriented psychotherapy and somatic therapy to support lasting emotional healing. We’ll process trauma, apply evidence-based stress management, and build resilience. My collaborative, compassionate approach empowers you and fosters meaningful, positive change.
