Get to know me

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

In our first session, you can expect a collaborative, laid-back, and welcoming space. We’ll start by discussing your current concerns, the challenges you're facing, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I'll ask questions to understand your unique journey and perspective, and together we’ll establish goals for our work. My approach is strengths-based, meaning I’ll focus on your inherent resilience and creativity, while exploring the areas of your life where you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Expect a mix of listening, reflection, and dialogue as we begin to co-create the therapeutic process. My aim is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I also encourage an open, non-judgmental conversation about how therapy can best support you, and we’ll adjust our approach as we go along to make sure it feels right for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to foster connection, authenticity, and empowerment. I take a collaborative, holistic approach that honors each client’s unique journey. With a background in social justice, trauma-informed care, and various therapeutic modalities, I’m adept at supporting individuals through complex challenges. My experience in both community-based settings and private practice gives me a strong understanding of how systemic issues impact mental health. I’m also deeply committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and strengths. I bring empathy, patience, and creativity into our work, tailoring my approach to your specific needs—whether that’s through psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, or body-focused techniques. Most importantly, I believe in your capacity for growth, and I’m here to support you on that transformative journey. As a provider, my ability to integrate diverse therapeutic approaches is one of my greatest strengths. I draw from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, somatic, and mindfulness-based techniques to create a well-rounded and adaptable treatment plan that fits your needs. My experience in advocacy and social justice enriches my practice, allowing me to support individuals facing systemic and interpersonal challenges with cultural humility and respect. I also believe in the power of radical compassion and self-love, and I work from a strengths-based perspective to help clients rediscover their inherent power and resilience. My warm, collaborative, and patient style encourages openness and self-exploration, making it easier for clients to engage in the therapeutic process. Whether you're navigating stress, personal growth, or trauma, I am committed to guiding you toward healing, self-awareness, and empowerment.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who are navigating stress, burnout, and trauma, particularly those in helping professions or caregiving roles. This includes people experiencing chronic stress, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, or relational challenges. I’m also well-suited for those in life transitions or struggling with self-esteem and personal growth. My practice is deeply rooted in social justice and aims to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly those facing systemic oppression. If you’re seeking a therapist who values authenticity, self-empowerment, and creating a sense of collective care, I’m here to support you. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or a general sense of disconnection, we’ll work together to cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and deeper meaning in your life.
