I am a seasoned therapist with over 16 years of experience, specializing in Trauma-Informed, Compassion-Focused, Culturally Sensitive, and Strengths-Based approaches. My passion lies in supporting individuals through their healing journey, drawing on a deep understanding of how past experiences shape current behaviors and emotions. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where clients can explore their strengths, build resilience, and work towards a more fulfilling life

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you'll find a direct yet compassionate approach, where we recognize that even small changes can lead to significant improvements in your overall health and well-being. My style combines straightforwardness with warmth, creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, validated, and supported. We'll begin by exploring the challenges that have brought you to therapy, focusing on your immediate needs and long-term aspirations. Together, we'll work to identify realistic, achievable goals that align with your values and desires. I'm here to guide you through this process, offering insights, tools, and encouragement as you take steps toward positive change. This session is the start of a collaborative journey, where we lay the groundwork for meaningful growth and transformation in your life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I specialize in guiding clients toward increased presence, health, and centeredness, ensuring that you feel more grounded and fulfilled. With over 16 years of experience, I bring a unique blend of directness and compassion to our work together. I create a therapeutic environment where small, manageable changes are celebrated for their potential to lead to significant, lasting improvements in your overall well-being. My approach is warm, validating, and deeply attuned to your needs, allowing you to feel supported as you take meaningful steps toward personal growth and transformation.
