Great to meet you!

I think all people have a brilliant capacity to heal and connect with their innate self-worth. I create a warm and comforting space where you will feel seen and heard, and I will work collaboratively with you to identify your wishes for therapy.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with complex and intergenerational trauma, loss, addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, relationships and multicultural adjustment. I am trained in EMDR, somatic approaches, and I utilize a harm reduction/motivational enhancement approach in addressing behaviors that are hard to change.

My approach is highly collaborative and individualized, based upon what the person I am meeting with is coming in for. I want to listen to your needs and wishes, and from there we can come up with a plan on how to approach our work together.

What you can expect from me

My wish is for my clients to walk away from sessions feeling respected, understood, empowered and reconnected with their sense of agency.
