I’ve worked across a range of clinical and community settings, including:

• A somatic-based PHP/IOP program, supporting clients with complex trauma and nervous system dysregulation

• University and college counseling centers, where I provided individual therapy, responded to crises, trained staff in crisis intervention and prevention, and facilitated groups and mental health workshops

• Nonprofit organizations, offering trauma-informed trainings, workshops, and trauma healing groups

Before becoming a therapist, I supported students through student activities, academic advising, and student leadership training and development, which continues to shape my relational and systems-informed approach to care.

My therapeutic style is trauma-informed, somatic, relational, and nervous-system focused. I believe healing happens not just through insight, but through the body, by increasing safety, regulation, and capacity over time.

Rather than pushing clients to fix themselves, I work collaboratively to help them understand why their patterns developed, honor the ways their nervous system learned to survive, and gently create new possibilities for connection, boundaries, and choice.

Neurodivergent and Neurospicy Individuals

You may identify as neurodivergent or feel like your brain works differently than what the world expects. You are tired of masking, overexplaining, or being misunderstood, and you want therapy that honors your nervous system, pace, and way of processing rather than trying to fix you.

Racial Identity, Culture, and Lived Experience

I work with BIPOC individuals, first-generation Americans, and immigrants who are navigating racial stress, identity exploration, generational expectations, and the impact of systemic oppression. Therapy can be a space to explore cultural pride, grief, anger, resilience, and belonging.

Queer, LGBTQIA+, and Gender-Expansive Folks

I work with queer people across identities and expressions, including those navigating coming out, identity exploration, family dynamics, internalized shame, religious harm, or societal pressure. Therapy is an affirming space where your identity is not questioned, corrected, or explained away.

High-Achieving and Overextended People

You may be driven, responsible, and often carrying more than your share. This can include perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-functioning, or feeling like you are holding everyone else’s emotional weight. Therapy can be a place to put some of that down.

Trauma and Attachment Wounds

I work with people healing from childhood trauma, attachment trauma, sexual trauma, and dysfunctional family systems. You may struggle with trust, boundaries, emotional regulation, or a sense of safety in relationships. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and capacity.

Religious Trauma and Faith Deconstruction

I support people who are healing from religious trauma, spiritual harm, or rigid belief systems, as well as those in the process of deconstructing or redefining their faith. This may include unpacking shame, fear, guilt, identity loss, or community rupture, while making space for personal meaning, spirituality, or grounded values on your own terms.

Couples

I support couples who are struggling with communication, emotional connection, intimacy, conflict, and family-related stress. This includes couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns and want to understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than only focusing on surface-level skills.

Families

I work with families who are having difficulty with communication, connection, and relational safety. Therapy can help families slow down, build understanding, and create healthier ways of relating to one another.

People Exploring Emotional Intelligence and Identity

You may want to better understand your emotions, identity, or relational patterns. This can include working through anger, emotional shutdown, difficulty expressing feelings, or navigating transitions in how you see yourself.

Reconnecting With Emotions and the Body

You may feel disconnected from your emotions or body, unsure of what you feel or how to express it. Together, we work on building awareness, language, and safety so emotions can be experienced rather than overwhelming or avoided.

I recognize that access to therapy is a social justice issue. While insurance can help make therapy more financially accessible, it often places limits on the length, frequency, and depth of care, particularly for trauma-focused work.

Trauma healing does not always fit neatly into short-term or symptom-reduction models, and insurance companies may require diagnoses, treatment plans, and periodic reviews that can impact the therapeutic process.

I accept insurance as one option for care while remaining committed to practicing from a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and client-centered framework. Private pay is always an option and may offer greater flexibility, autonomy, and privacy in your therapy experience.

I currently accept the following insurance plans:

• Aetna

• UnitedHealthcare

• Oxford

• Oscar

• Cigna
