At times, it can feel challenging to navigate growth and change on your own. I'd like to help you find clarity and relief. I see therapy as a collaborative space to increase self-understanding, practice healthy communication, and build self-compassion. In session, I lead with warmth and curiosity and love to connect with my patients through humor. Together, we can work to observe and deepen awareness of thought patterns and emotional experiences. Through this practice of self-reflection, we'll harness your strengths and bring new perspective to unhelpful thoughts, difficult or uncomfortable emotions, and unhealthy behaviors.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic pain. I also enjoy helping individuals explore sexual/gender identity and multicultural/multiracial identity concerns. As a multiculturally responsive therapist, I encourage conversations around all parts of your identity - whether visible or invisible - and I strive to know you holistically.
As your therapist, I'll lean heavily on evidence-based approaches while honoring the importance of personal experiences and emotional narratives. This means I trust scientific research to guide our work, while also understanding that genuine, human connection holds tremendous healing power. Have questions or want to learn more? Feel free to reach out!
