I help adults who grew up parenting their parents, shouldering perfectionism, people-pleasing, and caregiver roles reclaim their true selves and build lasting resilience. I provide trauma-informed support for survivors of sexual abuse and create an affirming, nonjudgmental space for LGBTQ+ clients.

She's honest and kind, with no nonsense. Yes, I am a survivor of trauma, but I have learned to overcome seeing myself as a victim. I never thought I would be in a place where I can set boundaries without feeling guilty and share my past without pain and tears. I am now an advocate for mental health, domestic violence, and sexual trauma. I have been able to achieve all of this by learning how to care for myself through therapy.
