You are unique, and therapy should be, too. I specialize in supporting people who have had experiences or identities that are beyond mainstream culture's rigid boxes. I’m a Certified EMDR Therapist with extensive knowledge in Somatic Therapy and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Rooted in a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I use well-researched methods to help people deal with PTSD, anxiety, and events that have upended life.
I’m immersed in subcultures that value creativity and compassion while honoring differences. I’ve spent many years as a trauma therapist in programs that support unique identities and experiences. I operate from an anti-oppression framework so people can bring themselves fully into an affirming and healing space.
You deserve a therapist who understands you right where you are, in this present moment, while also spurring you on with growing a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you.
