Many clients come to work with me at a time in their lives when they feel stuck due to trauma, intense loss or a major life transition.

In these times, the people in our lives may not always know how to help and we may feel horrendously disconnected – from ourselves, our environments, and our lives. This can be such a painful place to be. And we don’t have to go it alone.

As a relational trauma therapist, my work integrates attachment-oriented, culturally responsive, trauma therapy. I utilize DEEP (Dynamic Enriched Experiential Psychotherapy), Somatic Experiencing, and Sex Therapy to work with individuals and couples to disentangle themselves from prior relational wounds and cultivate a life they wish to lead.

I have a particular passion for working with survivors of childhood abuse, domestic, and sexual violence. I am also well versed in and absolutely love working with the LGBTQIA, BIPOC, and Kink/Poly communities.

If this work has taught me anything, it’s taught me this: there is more hope, possibility, and power when we work together to bring about change. Whatever kind of change that may be.

What I love most about working with survivors is fiercely holding hope while delicately encouraging the sparks of change at a time that can be so dark.

In case you’re wondering, I don’t scare easily and I don’t run out of hope because I am a trauma survivor myself. This is what I was born into. I know what it’s like to feel the shame, disempowerment, solitude, helplessness and overwhelm that goes along with experiencing trauma. I also went through one hell of a quarter-life crisis.

And I came through the other end. Having regained a sense of power in my life, I am driven to share that with other people to help them find their own way through.
