You may be feeling stuck—trapped by the weight of past experiences, struggling to move forward, or questioning if healing is even possible.

Maybe trauma or past abuse has left you feeling unsafe in your own mind and body. Or perhaps you’ve carried the burden of not being fully seen or accepted for your gender or sexual identity, whether by family, society, or even yourself. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Therapy is a space where you can begin to untangle the pain, reclaim your sense of self, and step into a life that feels more authentic and whole. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and deeply compassionate. I draw from evidence-based therapies like EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process what you’ve been through, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward self-acceptance and empowerment.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse or assault, and those navigating the complexities of identity, self-worth, and healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, relationship challenges, or the lasting impact of past wounds, we will work together at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

Above all, I want you to know this: healing is possible. You are not broken. You are not alone. And you deserve a space where you can be fully seen and heard.
