Great to meet you!

I enjoy working with expecting/ new parents, supporting the parent-child dyad, and working with young adults experiencing transitions. I enjoy supporting adolescents and adults with adjustment issues, mood disorders, anxiety, social, racial, and cultural challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize an eclectic approach that incorporates many treatment modalities delivered in partnership with my clients. I lead from a multidimensional aspect grounded in equity, acknowledging and supporting clients to recognize and dismantle the historical, systemic, and intergenerational factors that have impacted them.

What you can expect from our first session

We all need someone who can listen and provide a psychologically safe and compassionate environment, while supporting us in our journey toward change. I provide this environment and partner with my clients to determine needs and develop goals.
