About Me

I am a therapist with over nine years of experience, specializing in complex trauma treatment for clients of all ages. Having worked both in the U.S. and abroad, my approach is centered on compassion, safety, and understanding. I believe in the power of creating an environment where you feel relaxed, genuinely supported, and truly heard.

Having worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, I understand that our struggles are often deeply rooted in both personal experiences and larger systemic forces. I integrate person-centered, trauma-informed, and somatic therapeutic techniques to provide tailored healing solutions. With a focus on helping clients feel comfortable in their own skin and find their purpose, I aim to guide you in identifying triggers and resolving past stressors, so you can move forward in a healthier, happier direction.

With a Master’s degree in Art Therapy and Counseling, and am currently in my third Masters program, I bring a holistic and client-centered approach to every session. I use art as a powerful medium for emotional expression and healing, helping clients process difficult emotions and experiences.

My work is rooted in a commitment to social justice, and I provide therapy with an intersectional lens. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your trauma, identity, and relationships, while fostering healing and growth.

It is an honor to walk alongside you on your path to healing and mental wellness.
