About

Therapy is a courageous act that can be deeply transformative.

While I'm trained and qualified to work with a range of presenting problems, I specialize in one-on-one therapy sessions with adults focused on relationship issues, complex trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, life transitions, substance abuse, carceral re-entry, and intersectional identity exploration. My practice is focused on creating a compassionate, collaborative environment where you can explore, challenge, and identify what does and does not serve your growth. Through our shared curiosity, we can work to create meaningful change in your life and keep you moving always closer to authentic living. I utilize an integrative approach that honors multiculturalism and is strengths-based. I have experience in inpatient, forensic, and community settings, with a research background in the intersections of structural discrimination, belonging, and trauma. I additionally provide consultation and training on deep listening skills for providers and educators. I have a particular interest in working with you to seek meaning and explore the complexities of your identity. I am passionate about the ways in which self-understanding can help you deepen connections and foster joy, and invite you to reach out if you’d like to learn more.
