Great to meet you!

I’m a therapist who specializes in strength-based, trauma-informed therapy for children, adolescents, and women. I offer appointments in the late afternoons and strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and comfortable being themselves.

My approach to therapy

I tailor every session to your needs and your story, using evidence-based therapeutic tools while staying grounded in respect for your unique background, identity, and voice. Clients often tell me they feel safe, understood, and able to be their full selves without judgment.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is about getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and learning what you hope to get from the process. We’ll take things at your pace, create a comfortable space to be yourself, and begin identifying goals together. You don’t need to have everything figured out,we’ll take it one step at a time.
