3 years in practice
I provide a culturally competent, anti - racist, LGBTQ+ affirming space. My expertise is in working with people who have experienced trauma.
My approach to therapy is person- centered and trauma- informed, which means I look at a person’s experiences as a whole. I use a range of therapeutic techniques from positive psychology, strengths- based approaches, EMDR, CBT, ACT, somatic healing, Internal Family Systems, and Compassion Focused Therapy. My humanistic and compassionate approach to working with clients invites vulnerability not just from you, but from me as well. I love connecting with people over shared experiences, and reinforcing that even in the moments where we feel most isolated, we are not alone.
