(She/Her/Hers)
Healing is rarely a straight line. More often, it is a journey of repatriation—a process of returning to the internal landscape where you finally feel safe, seen, and whole. Whether you are navigating the echoes of complex trauma or seeking a way through current stressors, my goal is to walk alongside you as you rediscover resilience, reconnect with your authentic self, and cultivate a life aligned with your values.
My clinical work is grounded in trauma informed care, cultural humility and social justice, focusing on those whose voices have historically been silenced. I am deeply committed to serving marginalized and underserved communities—particularly women, queer folks, Latine individuals, and people in recovery—honoring their cultural identities, lived experiences, and inherent strengths.
My approach is built on an empowerment model that is trauma informed, relational, collaborative, and holistic. Informed by Attachment, Feminist, and Critical Race theories, I work within a framework that recognizes the deep impact of systemic and intergenerational trauma. I draw from a range of evidence- and practice-based modalities including: Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, DBT, Solution Focused Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and elements of Coherence and Narrative Therapies, but I’m less attached to any one modality and more focused on what fits what fits your unique journey. By integrating expressive arts, humor, intuition, creativity, and a touch of ancestral knowledge and somatic wisdom, I strive to create a therapeutic space that centers safety, respect, and authenticity, helping you find your voice and reclaim your power.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of California, Berkeley, and my Bachelor of Science from the University of Redlands. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon and Vermont, my professional background includes specialized work with attachment trauma, domestic and intimate partner violence, and CSEC or trafficked youth. I am trained in EMDR through EMDRIA and IFS-informed EMDR through Syzygy, and I am currently on track to earn certification in both modalities. My practice is dedicated to helping clients build attainable strategies for resilience that honor their lived experiences and foster lasting connection.
Outside of my clinical work, I’m a horse trainer specializing in wild mustangs and rescue horses, and a beginning practitioner of equine craniosacral therapy. I also enjoy hiking with my dog, hanging out with my own mustangs, and tending to my ever-growing collection of plants.
