Great to meet you!

I believe in the transformative nature of a relationship with a professional who knows you, knows what you want for yourself, and can help you get it in the way that will work for you. This is how therapy can move you from a cycle of struggle towards healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in creating a warm and supportive therapeutic environment that fosters a genuine and trusting client relationship. From there, I take a multicultural approach to my work, striving to understand the realities of a client’s cultural identities first and foremost. I believe that a person’s unique identities will direct a personalized and meaningful therapeutic experience.

What you can expect from me

More clarity about what you want and what we can do to get you there. An emotionally corrective experience through a relationship with someone who understands you and your mental health. Practical steps you can take to feel better in the ways you want to feel better.
