LMFT, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
Beginning therapy is a courageous step, and I commend you for taking this significant leap. I specialize in working with young adults and first-generation individuals who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Rooted in trauma-informed care, I integrate evidence-based practices like EMDR into my client-centered, collaborative approach. This ensures that each session is uniquely tailored to your needs and goals while providing a safe, supportive space where you can be your true self. I'm here whenever you feel ready to begin your transformative journey.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to genuinely connect. I invite you to share what inspired you to seek therapy and to provide some background about your journey. I welcome questions regarding my therapeutic approach. I understand that taking this step can feel daunting, so I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment from the very beginning.
I work from a clear, supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental space. I practice active listening and utilize open-ended questions to assist you in processing your emotions. I also like to incorporate humor in sessions. I am also calm, genuine, consistent, and patient.
I partner with young adults experiencing anxiety, stress, family conflict, and depression. Whether you’re overcoming trauma, adjusting to pivotal life shifts, or exploring your identity, we’ll collaborate to create a clear, personalized strategy for achieving your goals.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, which means I prioritize safety, trust, and choice in every step of the therapeutic process. I also integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you process and release the impact of trauma, reduce distress, and reconnect with your inner strengths
In practice, I help clients notice recurring themes in their relationships, emotional responses, and sense of self. Together, we explore how past experiences—often outside of conscious awareness—may be influencing present struggles. This can include patterns of avoidance, self-criticism, or difficulty trusting others
I offer a compassionate, collaborative space rooted in a person-centered and humanistic approach. I believe healing happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported as your authentic self. That’s what I aim to offer in therapy. I trust that you are the expert of your own life and I’m here to walk alongside you as you connect with your inner wisdom, strength, and capacity for growth
