My Approach to Helping
Do you find yourself startling awake at night, haunted by memories you can't shake? Maybe you're exhausted from carrying the weight of past trauma, feeling stuck in patterns of fear or anger that affect your relationships. If racial discrimination or gender-based harassment has left invisible wounds that others don't understand, you're not alone – and there is hope for healing.
As a trauma therapist with 18 years of experience, I provide a secure sanctuary where adults can break free from trauma's grip. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR therapy, combined with a feminist, anti-racist lens, I help clients calm their nervous system, process painful memories, and rebuild a sense of safety. I understand that trauma doesn't happen in a vacuum, and I specialize in addressing the unique impacts of racial and gender-based trauma.
What makes my approach unique is the genuine connection I build with each client. At Mosaic Bloom Counseling, you'll find a space where you feel truly safe, seen, and affirmed. Together, we'll move at your pace, transforming fragmented experiences into a meaningful whole that honors your strength and resilience.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance
As a feminist therapist, I believe that the your relationship with me is the most important factor in the overall success of therapy. My hope is that through time, we can build a trusting connection where you have a sense of safety, as well as feel my respect for you. I also trust that you will know in your gut what makes for the most supportive therapeutic relationship for you, and I hope that you trust that instinct.
I believe that therapy is intended to be a partnership, which means that I take an active role in our work. In support of a meaningful relationship, I acknowledge my personhood, how my personhood informss my work as a therapist, and how my personhood connects with your personhood. I am open about how my identity as a Black, able-bodied, straight, cisgender woman informs my view of the world and of therapy.
