As a trauma and EMDR therapist, I often think of our lives as a long novel, full of chapters that shape who we are today. Some chapters are joyful, while others may feel painful, uncertain, or unresolved. Patterns can emerge in these stories that influence how future chapters unfold. In therapy, we have the chance to pause, reflect, and begin writing new chapters, choosing which patterns to keep and which to change.
I provide a safe and inclusive space as a trauma and EMDR therapist, where your story can be explored without judgment. Together, we’ll examine how past experiences, unresolved feelings, or trauma may still be influencing the present. My goal is to help you process those experiences so that you can move forward with more clarity, resilience, and self-trust.
I work from both a narrative lens and a relational-cultural approach, helping clients explore identity, connection, and meaning. I am also specially trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for both children and adults, a proven method for healing the impact of trauma. EMDR can help reduce distress tied to painful memories, shift negative beliefs, and restore a greater sense of safety in your body and mind.
As an ally to the LGBTQ+ and POC communities, I strive to create a space where voices and stories that are often overlooked can be heard and honored. Therapy with me is collaborative. I adapt to what works best for you, balancing structure with flexibility so the process feels both supportive and empowering.
Born and raised in California, I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Fresno, before completing my master’s degree in mental health counseling at Temple University. Philadelphia has become home, and it is a privilege to serve this community by helping individuals of all ages find healing, growth, and a renewed sense of self.
