For those of us who have experienced trauma, it can be scary to begin the therapeutic work of healing. I am a trauma therapist who meets clients where they are and doesn't push an agenda or a timeline for healing. You are in the driver's seat, and I am here to support your process. I approach therapy from a feminist/decolonial perspective and am passionate about supporting people in their exploration of identity and purpose. I also treat substance use/abuse from a trauma perspective and work with parents, or intended parents, to create healthy parenting practices. I have worked with many clients who have experienced sexual trauma, abuse or neglect as children, or who struggle with relationship stability in adulthood. I am informed by psychodynamic/depth frameworks for self-discovery and I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) as modalities. I offer in person sessions in West LA and Telehealth sessions to anyone based in California. I look forward to connecting with you and can offer a free 15-30 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit for working together.
