PTSD/Trauma Empowerment/Resiliency LGBTQIA+ Anxiety Depression


Life can be painful, but therapy doesn’t have to be. I specialize in helping clients overcome painful past experiences and build sources of resiliency, flexibility, and self-esteem so that they can live the lives they want to live. I focus on client strengths as well as areas of challenge to bring positivity, warmth, and a compassionate push for the change you want to achieve.

My treatment style is holistic, science-informed, and sensitive to clients' unique backgrounds, identities, and healthcare needs. I am deeply committed to empowering the people I work with, especially those who have experiences of marginalization, discrimination, and feeling unseen.  

My approach is centered on you and using my therapeutic skillset to help you achieve your goals— whether these are healing from trauma, overcoming depression or anxiety, building self-confidence, developing positive and fulfilling relationships, or just improving self-care and life balance.

For those who wish to focus on issues related to aging, I also work with a geropsychology specialist, Dr. Blanken.
