Using a trauma-informed and multicultural lens, I support people in processing and making peace with trauma, strengthening emotional regulation through practical coping skills, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. My practice is grounded in a relational approach, where vulnerability is met with empathy and authentic connection.
Many of the ways we struggle today once helped us survive. Together, we’ll honor those adaptations while exploring what you need now. Life inevitably involves suffering and change. While we can’t eliminate pain, we can discover new ways of relating to it and move toward a life that feels meaningful.
My approach is collaborative, balancing compassion with thoughtful challenges to encourage growth. I bring elements of curiosity and humor to know the person behind the challenges they experience. I welcome people of all backgrounds and identities into this shared space. My philosophy is, “come as you are.”
Grounded in a feminist and sex-positive perspective, I support exploration of sexuality and gender identity. I also provide gender-affirming surgery letters. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Existential Therapy.
In my personal life, I enjoy artistic activities, gardening, concerts, and spending time with my two dachshunds, Ranger and Lucy.
