Great to meet you!

As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about supporting individuals from all backgrounds, especially those in marginalized communities. With a decade of experience in mental health—spanning county services, private practice, and schools—I provide a safe, inclusive space for healing and growth. Using an eclectic, individualized approach, I draw from EMDR, CBT, and DBT to tailor therapy to your unique needs. My expertise in trauma allows me to deeply understand and guide clients through their challenges while helping them build resilience and move toward healin

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is supportive, respectful, and tailored to each person’s needs and identities, no matter their background. I recognize how deeply trauma can affect someone’s life and well-being, and my goal is to create a compassionate and empowering space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and heal on their journey.

What you can expect from me

In our therapy sessions, we’ll focus on building a strong, supportive relationship where you feel heard and valued. I’ll take the time to understand your experiences, challenges, and goals while providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share openly. Together, we’ll explore your mental health, gain new perspectives on challenges, and uncover your strengths. Each session is individually tailored to help you take meaningful steps toward healing and personal growth.
