Welcome!
You may appear capable on the outside while living with painful memories, overthinking, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or a constant sense that something is wrong. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy and EMDR to help adults process the past and feel more secure in the present.
I have experience supporting adults affected by childhood and adult trauma, systemic trauma, human trafficking, immigration-related experiences, attachment and trust concerns, and substance use. I bring a culturally responsive, trauma-informed lens to treatment and incorporate EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches based on each client's needs and goals.
Starting therapy is a personal decision, and finding the right therapist matters. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can discuss what brings you to therapy, answer your questions, and determine whether we may be a good fit.
Meet the Therapist
I believe that it's difficult to reach our unique, authentic, human potential unless we have freed our minds from the past. Freed from traumas, negative memories, all the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" of who we are "supposed" to be, what we are expected to act like, societal pressures, family expectations and so on. Yes, we may be high achievers, posess strong intellectual minds and hold good jobs. But what about that fear of making mistakes, those unstable relationships, family/partner conflicts, or that sense of loneliness that we try to hide so others don't notice them? What about those intrusive painful memories from the past that we just can't let them go no matter how hard we try? It's like they follow us like our shadow. I want to help you start that journey of self-discovery and healing so you can enjoy the beauty of living with a freed mind and be your authentic self, unapologetically.
