Great to meet you!

I work with adults and couples navigating identity, anxiety, relationship challenges, and experiences that have shaped how they connect with themselves and others. My approach is culturally responsive and relational, with particular attention to how identity, past experiences, and relationship patterns can influence how you see yourself and move through the world. I especially value working with people impacted by racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of marginalization. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-trust, authenticity, and connection.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and paced with you. Together, we explore what’s happening now, where it comes from, and what you want to be different. I draw from CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches based on what fits your needs. You remain an active part of deciding what we explore and when.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance for you to share what brings you to therapy while I listen and get to know you. I’ll ask about what’s happening now, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope will be different. There’s no pressure to share your hardest experiences right away. We’ll identify what feels most important to focus on and begin creating a plan together.
