Therapist

I work with couples, individuals, and teens who are interested in developing a greater relationship with themselves and their loved ones. As a trauma-informed therapist, I use a directive, compassionate approach to help you process traumatic events, attachment wounds, and interpersonal conflict. I specialize in working with ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, and other trauma-related conditions. Using warmth and humor, I offer tangible communication, cognitive, and nervous system regulation skills that you can use to feel empowered in your daily life. 

I am an EMDR-trained therapist and incorporate other modalities such as Somatic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT), Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Using my extensive background in international social work, I utilize my experience and a critical multicultural lens to support clients of diverse backgrounds. I value naming systems of power and acknowledging how greater socio-cultural structures may impact identity and relationships.
