My approach to therapy is rooted in collaboration, compassion, warmth, and deep attunement to my clients. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore what’s causing tension or pain in your life, process what feels stuck, and move toward healing. I believe we are inherently whole and have everything we need to heal within us. We may just need help clearing some barriers. I approach therapy with acceptance, curiosity and even humor—because healing can be meaningful without always feeling heavy.

I am trained in EMDR and I am currently working toward full certification. EMDR is a highly effective therapy that helps the brain reprocess trauma, shift negative thought patterns, and create lasting change. While EMDR is my focus, I also provide more traditional “talk” therapy, integrating systems and attachment theories, somatic work, and mindfulness and self-compassionate practices to support holistic healing and honor the mind-body connection.

My practice also recognizes that healing isn’t just about the individual but also the broader systemic forces we navigate daily. My background in philosophy, along with a deep commitment to social justice, has influenced my work in bridging the gap between personal healing and the systems within which we exist.

I practice from an anti-oppressive, non-pathological, trauma-informed lens. While diagnoses can offer direction, they do not define us. I am not here to “treat” my clients but, rather, collaborate together toward your individualized healing journey. I am committed to creating an inclusive, identity-affirming space where you feel safe to explore and embrace all parts of yourself. I especially enjoy working with those looking to gain insight into how their past experiences have influenced their present.

Folx from cross-cultural and Latine backgrounds, individuals with histories of trauma, those struggling with emotional balance and/or “stuck” negative self-beliefs, and those feeling disconnected are especially drawn to my work.
