Therapy is a space where you can fully exist and acknowledge all aspects of yourself — the parts you’re proud of, the parts you may struggle with, and the parts you’ve kept hidden from others. I honor and welcome every part of you. Together, we will explore your stories, work within your values and strengths, and help you live the life you want to live.
I work with adolescents 13+ and adults, specializing in trauma, multicultural identity development, life transitions, and self-esteem. I practice from a trauma-informed, multicultural, and social justice-oriented worldview, with a passion for supporting clients with marginalized identities. My approach is warm, laid-back, and compassionate.
​If you’re interested in working together, please reach out to schedule a consultation or appointment!
