About My Clients

It takes a lot of strength and self-kindness to seek support and therapy–thank you for being here and for considering me as part of your process. I have worked with folks with a number of experiences and specialize in trauma and trauma-related disorders. CPTSD, Religious abuse/trauma and grief are my primary areas of treatment. My aim is to help understand where folx are, as well as what their hopes and goals may be. We work together to find growth and change in the ways that works best for you.

My Background and Approach

I operate from a feminist, abolitionist lens and adapt evidence-based modalities, including TF-CBT, DBT and CPT to fit each individual as needed. I am here to hold space for you, help you find understanding and work through the many-faceted aspects of adulthood.
