Services Overview

At Rooted Light Therapy, I specialize in trauma-informed, culturally affirming care for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
My work blends evidence-based approaches including CBT, strengths-based therapy, with trauma-informed and somatic practices and deep compassion. Together, we create space for healing that’s both practical and deeply personal.

Trauma Recovery Therapy

  • Heal the wounds of your past and rebuild a sense of safety and trust in yourself. Trauma changes how we see ourselves, others, and the world. In this space, we gently explore the impact of trauma. Whether from childhood, relationships, or systemic experiences and begin to release its hold. Through trauma-informed, somatic, and strengths-based approaches, we’ll work to restore calm, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.

Anxiety and Depression Therapy

  • Find relief from the racing thoughts, emotional fatigue, and inner heaviness that keep you stuck. Anxiety and depression can make even small moments feel overwhelming. Together, we’ll use CBT and DBT techniques to challenge negative thinking, regulate emotions, and build coping tools that support long-term balance. This is a space where you can feel seen and supported as you rediscover peace, purpose, and emotional stability.

Life Transitions Support

  • Navigate seasons of change with confidence, clarity, and grace. Change, even positive change, can stir anxiety, grief, or confusion. Whether you’re navigating a new role, loss, or identity shift, we’ll process what’s unfolding and strengthen your sense of direction.
    You’ll learn tools to handle uncertainty, deepen self-trust, and create meaning in your next chapter.
