About Damaris
Hello, I am a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals from all walks of life. My work is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and cultural humility, honoring the beliefs, traditions, and social worlds that shape each person's story.
My approach integrates Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered practices, blending evidence-based methods with genuine human connection. With a background in anti-human trafficking advocacy and housing case work, I bring a broad perspective to supporting individuals experiencing traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, heartbreak, and loss.
I am passionate about providing inclusive, culturally responsive, and accessible care. For those who wish, I also offer Faith-Based Counseling, integrating spiritual values into therapy in a way that honors your personal beliefs and lived experience.
