Great to meet you!

I have experience working with individuals navigating substance use, anxiety, trauma, and grief. In therapy, I focus on helping clients make sense of their experiences, identify patterns, and develop ways of responding that feel more aligned and sustainable over time. I also bring a strong cultural lens and awareness to my practice.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded, collaborative, and practical. I blend evidence-based strategies with curiosity and warmth, helping clients feel understood while also building the capacity for meaningful change. In our work together, I integrate reflection, practical tools, and psychoeducation to clarify emotional and relational patterns, so change feels intentional rather than overwhelming.

What you can expect from me

In our first session I'll ask thoughtful, direct questions to get a clear picture of your history, relationships, and patterns, while also making room for what’s actually bringing you in right now.
