I work with teens (16+) and adults who may be carrying the effects of trauma, difficult relationships, or experiences that required them to adapt in order to survive. You may understand where your patterns come from but still feel stuck in them, or notice that the past continues to shape how you feel about yourself and connect with others. Together, we can understand the patterns that once helped you survive, make space for what you have carried, and support meaningful change and greater connection with yourself and others.
I focus on complex trauma recovery, supporting people who learned early in life to adapt in order to survive, often at the expense of their own needs, voice, or sense of self. I have an interest in working with dissociation and shame, including quieter experiences that can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your emotions, and others. I recognize that our experiences are shaped by our relationships, cultures, communities, and the systems around us. I approach therapy with cultural humility, curiosity, compassion, and honesty. Wherever you are, we can begin there and work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Outside the therapy room, you'll often find me boxing, exploring the outdoors, or travelling. I enjoy discovering new places, learning from different cultures, and sharing food.
Finding the right therapist matters. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss your hopes for therapy, and explore whether we feel like a good fit to work together.
