I am a compassionate individual who is dedicated to the healing journeys of survivors who have been through trauma. I am certified in trauma informed care and I have experience working with adult clients from various backgrounds with complex trauma histories. My approach is collaborative, nurturing, empathetic, direct, and non-judgmental because I believe a safe, warm, and accepting environment is essential to the therapeutic process and guiding clients through their healing. Recognizing how minority status and oppression can add to mental health, traumatic experiences, and seeking support, I strive to create an inclusive space for all clients with different cultural backgrounds and identities. I use an integrative approach and tailor treatment to the clients needs and goals to foster hope, empowerment, and resilience. My areas of focus include trauma work, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, attachment disruptions, and interpersonal relationships.
