About Me
Hi! I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). I specialize in helping individuals heal from an intersectional- and trauma- informed lens. I consider myself to be an integrative therapist, which means I pull from different modalities.
My top priority is creating a safe, collaborative space to support you in meeting your therapy goals! I intuitively pull from different therapy modalities (types) to support you on your unique journey, including but not limited to relational, humanistic/transpersonal, Somatic Experiencing (SE), the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and experiential.
