About

I believe everyone has the narrative to their own story and the answer they seek is within; sometimes it just needs a little compassionate digging. Because therapy isn't a lifetime-based resource, I believe in empowering individuals to discover their own inner resource pool and teaching new coping techniques to continue to build resilience and self-compassion. My approach is race-informed, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIA+ friendly. The systems built around us exacerbate the amount of trauma we experience and further damage our capacity for recovery. Sometimes the hardest part is recognizing you have taken yourself to a point where guidance may be the next best option, however, it is important that guidance isn't in favor of dominant groups. I specialize in providing trauma-based therapeutic interventions while focusing on the somatic experiences of where trauma is stored/harbored in our bodies to develop tools for regulation and healing. I believe the key ingredient is building a therapeutic relationship filled with trust, safety, and compassion, as well as accountability and movement forward. I am certified in TF-CBT as well as a Registered Yoga Teacher and regularly utilize these modalities in combination with other psychodynamic and skill-based approaches. When we engage in trauma recovery work, we cannot do it alone. Thanks for trusting me to accompany you in your journey to healing and witnessing you living a better life.
