I am passionate about working with individuals and families in the community through a holistic and trauma informed lens. I have a warm, nonjudgmental, and compassionate approach to healing, valuing my clients intersectional identity. My role is to meet you exactly where you are at, creating a safe space to support you in gaining the insight and tools necessary to meet your goals. I strongly believe fostering trust between the therapist and client is most important as it is lays the foundation for openness and connection which promotes growth, healing, and an overall sense of peace.
I have experience working with families, couples, teenagers, and LGBTQ+. My experience as a therapist includes working with individuals who are struggling from anxiety, depression, grief, emotional dysregulation, substance use disorder, suicidal ideation, trauma and PTSD, as well as chronic illness.
I believe in working collaboratively with you, tailoring my approach to meet your specific needs, as therapy is not one size fits all. I will provide a safe space for you to share your pain and honor your resiliency. Let's work together to support you in your path towards recovery and a more fulfilling life.
