Best way to contact me is through email. Some things in life can feel really big and overwhelming. Working with a therapist can help you develop skills to make those 'big' things feel much less daunting. Taking a person-centered, humanistic approach to therapy is important because everybody has a unique story, identity, culture, and goal. As your therapist, my role is to help you discover what works for YOU, in the context of your own life. I am here to help you unpack, understand, heal, grow, and ultimately build your own 'life toolbox' to use when things feel really big again.

Coming from a humanistic perspective, I value the power of kindness and compassion. Using the liberation psychology framework, I believe that by acknowledging the very real impacts and limitations that exist from various systems, we can reframe narratives of our lives to better understand and accept ourselves and discover our own autonomy and confidence. I do not judge anyone for being who they are. I only seek to assist in another’s journey of self-discovery and self-actualization by guiding them on the healthiest and safest path that they have chosen for themselves.
