I hold a prior career in art activism and my prior career influences my practice in many different ways. For example, I commit to providing spaces that foster decolonization. My approach includes a lot of transparency and flexibility. I believe therapy is most helpful when it's a hands-on process so I aim to create sessions that end with a tangible tool or goal because sharing our stories is only one piece of the healing process. It’s important for me to share with my clients that I live with chronic mental and physical health issues so I am actively practicing a lot of the same tools I bring forth to clients.

Offering feedback, another perspective, and/or coping skills can be very helpful. On the other hand, sometimes people just need a listening ear. Over the past 11 years, I have been fortunate enough to develop a strong skill set to not only meet clients where they are in their healing process, but also be that listening ear, voice of reason and give clinical insight when needed. Sometimes life gets tough. Sometimes we as people experience events that just seem impossible to overcome. Sometimes we just don’t feel like ourselves.

One of the bravest things a person can do is ask for help – I applaud you for taking that first step. I enjoy helping people manage anxiety, navigate life transitions, and work through trauma. Many of these issues can feel overwhelming and isolating; it would be my honor to support you through what you are facing as I know how powerful therapy can be. Having been on the other side of the couch throughout various points in my life, I understand the trust you are putting in a therapist when you walk into their office. I draw deeply from that trust and my own experiences to create a warm, nonjudgmental and compassionate environment.
