Great to meet you!

Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or repeating relationship patterns you wish you could change? Maybe you're carrying experiences from the past, struggling with self-doubt, or navigating a life transition. You don't have to figure it all out alone. I help individuals work through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-criticism so they can feel more confident, understand themselves more deeply, and build a life that feels aligned with who they are.

My approach to therapy

I approach psychotherapy from an integrative praxis utilizing CBT, humanistic, narrative, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and EMDR. I utilize a feminist and multicultural lens weaving interconnected ways of knowledge in my therapy work.

What you can expect from me

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you to help you understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and find new ways forward. My role is to help you explore it with curiosity, compassion, and without judgement. We'll work together at a pace that feels right for you, with your needs and goals at the center. You'll leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and empowered. I encourage clients to voice their questions, concerns, and preferences for therapy sessions.
