Certified EMDR Therapist specializing in trauma recovery, life transitions, culturally-based trauma. Extensive work with LGBTQIA+ & immigrant populations.

Therapy provides a space apart from everyday life to build trust, safely explore our needs, recover from the past, and grow more fully into the best version of ourselves in the present. I provide psychotherapy to people of all identities and backgrounds that seek improved health. In addition to treating common challenges, such as depression and anxiety, I have advanced training and clinical expertise in the treatment of trauma recovery and culturally-responsive care. To most effectively address your unique needs and preferences, I take an eclectic approach to providing therapy and incorporate various modalities. Interventions informed by Internal Family Systems/"Parts Work," CBT, Mindfulness, and ACT are common approaches that I use to support people with accomplishing their goals. My work is informed by experiences in work and community with immigrants, refugees, low-income women, and LGBTQIA+ people.
