Trauma affects both the mind and body, leaving behind intrusive thoughts, distressing sensations, and confusing reactions. At the core of many trauma responses is shame—the deep-seated belief that something about us is inherently wrong or unfixable. These beliefs often stem from early experiences and are reinforced by society, shaping how we see ourselves long after the initial wounds occur. Even when those experiences fade from memory, their impact lingers in how we navigate relationships, emotions, and self-worth.
In therapy, I take a collaborative, client-led approach, recognizing that each person is made up of different parts—some we embrace and others we struggle with. However, every part has developed for a reason, playing a role in survival. Rather than rejecting or hiding these aspects of ourselves, healing begins when we explore them with curiosity and compassion. My work integrates trauma-focused ACT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), existential psychotherapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR to help clients process their past, uncover internal strengths, and move toward living in alignment with their values.
As a queer cis woman, I have a special passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming individuals, understanding the unique challenges of trauma within these identities, including marginalization and systemic discrimination. I also work with individuals healing from issues related to PTSD, complex trauma, trafficking, dissociative disorders, anxiety, and depression. My practice is rooted in cultural humility and affirming care, providing a safe space for clients to explore their experiences without fear of judgment. Whether you are navigating gender identity, recovering from complex trauma, or seeking deeper meaning beyond the burdens of the past, I am here to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
