Therapy is the most effective when you feel genuinely connected to the person walking along side you. I take pride in meeting clients where they are, no matter the chapter of life they’re in. I strive to offer both stability and flexibility, recognizing that the world can feel overwhelming at times, but together, we can make it feel more manageable.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our work is collaborative and thoughtful, grounded in the belief that meaningful growth happens through connection and reflection, both internally and externally.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength lies in my ability to work effectively with diverse populations and meet clients where they are. I have experience supporting individuals across a wide range of settings, including homeless shelters, high schools, the criminal justice system, schools for children with disabilities, and private practice. Working within these varied environments has strengthened my adaptability, empathy, and clinical insight, allowing me to show up fully for my clients regardless of their background, identity, or life circumstances. At the core of my work is meaningful, one-on-one connection. My experience has taught me that healing and growth happen through trust, presence, and individualized care, values I intentionally bring into every therapeutic relationship. This client-centered approach allows me to provide thoughtful, grounded support that honors each person’s unique story and needs.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My practice focuses on supporting individuals through complex experiences that may feel overwhelming, from everyday stressors to the impact of intergenerational trauma. I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and affirming space where you can explore your experiences, build coping skills, and reconnect with a sense of stability and self-understanding.

My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and direct solution-focused techniques. I also integrate somatic and holistic practices to foster a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your emotions and experiences.
