Great to meet you!

Seeking help takes courage. I meet you where you are. I’m good at listening and working to understand you, your situation, and what you want from therapy. You are the expert on you. I’ll work with you to clarify your goals and develop a plan to help you navigate life’s challenges and move toward meaningful change. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I take a culturally competent, client-centered approach that emphasizes collaboration, respect, and practical skill-building. Together, we’ll focus on strategies that support you in meeting your objectives for therapy.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered and culturally responsive. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Family Systems and Person-Centered theories to tailor treatment to your unique needs. I use strength-based and multicultural perspectives to ensure therapy honors your values, strengths, and lived experiences.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard and empowered to make the changes in your life. My goal is to support your emotional well-being, help you feel more grounded and in control of your life. If you’re ready to take the next step, please reach out. I offer a free 15 minute phone consult to make sure we will be a good fit for one another
