About My Clients

With 10 years experience, I specialize in working with adults, particularly women and survivors of sexual assault, abusive relationships, and complex trauma. I work with young adults and adults (18 +) who experience all different types of trauma, including developmental trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and brainspotting into my practice.

My Background and Approach

I am Certified in EMDR and Brainspotting Therapy, both treat trauma and a variety of issues. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, Intermediate III. These methods understand that the mind and body are one system and help re-process trauma or anything that may have been impactful throughout your life. I use a holistic approach to meet the clients needs and integrate additional methods such as somatic practices, meditation, & mindfulness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a feminist and culturally sensitive therapist, I understand how societal pressures, culture, identity, family expectations, and systems of oppression impact and shape our experiences—often in ways that are deeply rooted in historical and intergenerational trauma. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or relationship challenges, you deserve a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood.
