Great to meet you!

As a counselor, I approach therapy through a humanistic lens—believing in each person’s inherent capacity for growth, self-awareness, and change. I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and valued for who they are. My work is grounded in cultural humility and respect, honoring the unique identities, experiences, and stories that shape each person’s life. Together, we explore meaning, build resilience, and move toward greater authenticity and well-being.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is integrative, rooted in a humanistic foundation that emphasizes authenticity, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I draw from evidence-based practices. I value collaboration in the therapeutic process, helping clients build self-awareness, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical tools for growth and healing. My work is guided by cultural humility, curiosity, and the belief that every client’s story deserves to be understood within the context of their lived experience.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative space focused on building trust and understanding. We’ll begin by discussing what brings you to counseling, exploring your goals, background, and any concerns you’d like to address.
