| Therapist Intro | I am a trauma-focused therapist providing evidence-based and client-centered therapy to adult individuals (18+) and couples. Whether you are facing relationship difficulties, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, or are simply feeling stuck and questioning, “how did I get here, and where do I go now?”, you are not alone. Together, we can work to process pain, nurture healthy connections, clarify and pursue your goals, and alleviate suffering. Ultimately, my goal is to help you navigate life's stressors and find peace. In therapy, I function as a facilitator, guide, and compassionate mirror reflecting your unique experience through a strengths-based lens. Drawing from emotionally-focused, mindfulness-based, and somatic approaches, I offer holistic and concrete tools to help you rediscover your most authentic self, build connected relationships, and live a fulfilling life. No matter who you are or what you've been through, you are worthy of healing, relief, and love. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and seek to embody anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices in all aspects of my work. I commit to bringing warmth, empathy, humility, and my genuine self to our work together. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! |
