About
Hello! I am a Trauma-informed therapist committed to providing individualized care that honors each client’s unique experiences, values, and needs. My clinical approach is grounded in trauma informed/evidence-based practices and a deep understanding of the complex ways in which trauma, identity, culture, and environment influence mental health. I work from a person-centered framework, meeting clients where they are in their journey. I strive to foster a therapeutic environment that is safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental—where clients feel heard, validated, and supported in the process of change. Please call, I would love to meet you! I specialize in working with individuals, children, and aging population with anxiety, depression, personality and relationship issues. I have extensive experience supporting clients with a history of emotional, psychological, and relational trauma, as well as those managing chronic stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I want you to know that you do not have to navigate this journey on your own. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space to explore what you need. If any part of what you've read resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out.
