Reclaiming your sense of self—especially after trauma—can be one of the most powerful journeys you take. I offer a grounded, supportive space where you can reconnect with your body, your story, and the parts of yourself that haven’t always felt safe to explore.
Young Adults 18-24
Adults 25-64
Seniors 65+
My path into therapy began through teaching and research. While pursuing my PhD, I studied sexual trauma, and that work opened the door to what would become my true calling. I became fascinated by the many ways trauma shows up in people’s lives—and even more by how healing can happen through reconnecting with the body, intuition, and suppressed parts of the self. Today, I specialize in sex therapy and trauma work, supporting clients as they process shame, nurture their identity, and build a deeper relationship with themselves.
I approach therapy holistically, blending body-based (somatic) and insight-oriented methods to support healing on all levels. I understand that trauma is shaped not just by personal experience, but by systems—cultural, political, and generational. I work to decolonize my practice, honoring the wisdom my clients already carry and recognizing the resilience that’s helped them survive. Therapy with me is a collaborative space where you’re met with curiosity, deep respect, and an invitation to reclaim the fullness of who you are.
