About

Whether you are transitioning into a new identity or grappling with an old emotional injury, I offer compassion when you need it most. As a psychotherapist who focuses on how our past experiences inform our present-day perspective, I accompany you while tackling challenges related to trauma, transitions, relationships, and/or everyday life. Utilizing skills from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) , Somatic Experiencing and Deep Brain Reprocessing allows me to be flexible and sensitive to the individual patient's needs as we set a course for treatment.

My practice is multi-culturally informed. I consider mind and body equally. I believe providing a safe place, honoring your humanity and imbuing the process with hope and humor makes the therapeutic experience valuable AND enjoyable.

With feelings comes signals. With awareness comes wisdom. With imagination comes possibility. I’ve been lucky to witness many transformations over the past decade. I'd be honored to witness yours.
