Great to meet you!

I work with adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating life's challenges and seeking meaningful, lasting change. My clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals in crisis, first responders, and other professionals facing unique career or personal challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative process that builds on your existing strengths and resilience.

My approach to therapy

My approach is eclectic, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance-Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and other approaches as appropriate. By tailoring treatment to your specific needs, I strive to create a therapeutic experience that feels empowering.

What you can expect from me

Every person is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I aim to help you become the expert on yourself equipped with the confidence and tools needed to navigate challenges, foster growth, and create a healthier, fulfilling path forward. Take the first step toward wellness—schedule a 15m consultation to determine if we're the right fit.
