Great to meet you!

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

My approach to therapy

I use a blend of CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused approaches to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. My approach focuses on helping clients develop healthier coping strategies, improve self-awareness, navigate life transitions, and create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

My focus is helping individuals navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. I work collaboratively with clients to increase self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Using a blend of CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused approaches, I tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs, strengths, and personal goals.
