My focus has been on the way trauma, lived experiences, social systems, and substance use often show up and weave together in us. We all have trauma, regardless of how we take up our space in the world. I love to show people their inner strength and foster self-compassion through harm-reduction and specialized trauma treatment techniques. I strive to confront the often-overwhelming stigma and shame so many of us have surrounding mental health issues, sexuality, gender expression, race, ethnicity, and spirituality. If you feel scared or stuck, I am ready to help navigate your unique process and path. I use a client-centered, feminist multicultural approach to work with trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, suicidal ideation, self-harm, grief, and substance use disorder. I personalize each treatment plan as a team with each client I work alongside. I utilize many modalities including EMDR, CPT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, DBT, ERP, and ACT. I believe in radical acceptance and view all of my clients through that lens. My office is a safe, non-judgmental space to explore, unpack, and create anything. Let's feel all the things and move through them, together. This journey is about what you want at the pace you want. My main objective is to support you and your goals, always.
