In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, and throughout the therapeutic relationship, you will always be heard. Your thoughts and feelings will consistently be validated, and I will meet you where you're at in each and every session. My clients tend to leave their sessions feeling lighter and brighter, gaining new perspectives as they progress toward their goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In addition to my education and commitment to lifelong learning, my personal experiences in my profession contribute greatly to how I engage in therapeutic relationships. I also prioritize cultural competence and have gained valuable insights through extensive travel, which has allowed me to immerse myself in various cultures and live within diverse communities.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

When Part of You Wants to Move Forward — and Part of You Still Hurts After experiencing domestic, sexual, or relational abuse, it can feel like you’re pulled in different directions. You might feel stuck between emotions — guilt, fear, anger, or even a desire for justice after what happened. Maybe you’ve tried to forgive but still find yourself unable to forget. Many people struggle with these same thoughts and feelings. Some people carry deep feelings of shame or self-blame. You might find yourself questioning what happened, wondering “why me?”, or struggling with painful thoughts about your own worth. These reactions can feel confusing and isolating, but they are far more common than many people realize. If you’re a parent, you may also be putting all of your energy into making sure your children are safe and their needs are being met. You're saying to yourself, as long as my children are happy, I'm happy - their wellbeing comes first. And that's okay. You don’t have to carry all of this alone. Healing rarely happens all at once. Therapy can be a place to move at a pace that feels safe for you, with curiosity and compassion guiding the process. Sometimes people begin therapy still trying to understand what happened in their relationship, or wondering how it affected them. It’s okay if you’re still trying to make sense of things. I’m a trauma therapist mostly working with individuals who have experienced domestic, sexual, and relational abuse and who are looking for a safe, compassionate space to begin making sense of what they’ve been through. In our work together, we gently explore the different parts of you that may still be holding pain, fear, anger, or guilt. As those parts begin to feel heard and supported, many people begin to feel more steady, rebuild self-confidence, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
