What I Treat
Specialties
I believe healing is possible because I’ve lived it. With a background in both mental health training and personal survival, I meet clients with compassion and clarity. My specialties are more than checkboxes; they reflect a commitment to helping others overcome pain, reclaim their story, and build the life they deserve.
C-PTSD & TRAUMA
Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget.
Living with C-PTSD can feel like being trapped in cycles of fear, shame, and exhaustion. Together, we’ll work to untangle the trauma that keeps replaying, strengthen your coping skills, and rebuild a foundation of trust and safety in yourself and the world around you.
CHILDHOOD ABUSE & FOSTER CARE IMPACT
You were never meant to carry those scars alone.
As someone who has walked this path, I know the weight of abuse and system involvement. Whether you’ve aged out, been adopted, or were never placed, we’ll build trust, process the pain, and restore your sense of worth and belonging.
ADHD & BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS
ADHD is not a flaw, it’s a difference.
I work with youth and families to understand behaviors through patience, guidance, and skill-building. Together, we’ll create strategies for focus, emotional regulation, and success in daily life.
GRIEF & LOSS
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
Whether fresh or carried for years, loss reshapes life. I support clients in holding their pain with compassion while making space for healing and hope.
ABANDONMENT
You didn’t deserve to be left.
The hardest part of abandonment is believing you are still lovable. Abandonment can make the world feel unsafe and every goodbye feel permanent. I know the ache of closing doors or waiting in the pouring rain, only to be left with promises broken. Here, we will slowly rebuild trust in others, in love, and in yourself. Because you are not disposable. I see you.
HEALING AFTER SEXUAL ABUSE
Surviving was never meant to be a burden. Healing doesn’t have to happen alone.
This work is delicate, powerful, and possible. You set the pace. I help hold the weight.
BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER (BPD)
You are not “too much.”
Living with BPD can feel overwhelming, but stability and self-compassion are possible. Using DBT-based skills, I help clients build healthier relationships and lasting change.
SUICIDAL IDEATION & SELF-HARM
If you’re overwhelmed by darkness, you don’t have to face it alone.
I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk openly, while creating plans for safety, hope, and healing.
HIV+ & INFECTIOUS DISEASE SUPPORT
You are not your diagnosis. You are not your stigma.
I work with clients navigating stigma, chronic illness, grief, and systemic neglect. This is a space of dignity, not diagnosis.
SUBSTANCE USE & RECOVERY
Recovery isn’t about purity or perfection, it’s about reclaiming your power.
Whether you’re sober-curious, navigating harm reduction, or in 12-step recovery, we’ll explore your relationship with substances and create a life you don’t want to escape from.
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY & BIPOLAR DISORDER
You don’t have to go through this alone.
These conditions can feel isolating, but together we’ll reduce shame, make sense of emotions, and create a path toward balance, peace, and connection.
IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT & SELF-WORTH
You have the right to define yourself on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating LGBTQ+ identity, living with HIV, or rebuilding after trauma, I provide space to explore with pride, acceptance, and freedom.
