Trauma-Informed, Integrative Therapy for Teens and Adults

My work as a therapist has been shaped by lived experience across five countries and a deep respect for cultural nuance, resilience, and the lifelong process of coming home to oneself. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity development, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions.

I take an integrative, relational approach that blends evidence-based trauma treatment with experiential and body-based work. I am trained in EMDR therapy for trauma healing and incorporate somatic approaches to support nervous system regulation and mind-body awareness. I also draw from Jungian psychology and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore unconscious patterns, protective strategies, and the relationship between inner parts and the core self.

I have extensive experience supporting trauma survivors, including individuals recovering from human trafficking and residential substance use treatment. I also work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, relational challenges, political or societal stress, and complex emotional experiences. My goal is to help clients build self-trust, deepen emotional regulation, and develop more authentic and compassionate relationships with themselves and others.
