I use a person-centered, solution-focused, holistic, multicultural, and cognitive behavioral approach in treatment, which means I meet you where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your needs while being sensitive to how your own personal cultural identities and lifestyle choices impact your experience.
My dedication to the field of mental health stems from my personal experience with it. I grew up with parents and family members living with mental illness and I have personally overcome some mental health challenges over the course of my lifetime, too. I know firsthand that having mental health concerns can be difficult. I would describe my style as friendly and supportive, but I am also prepared to receive and assist you in overcoming your struggles from the get-go. We can work together at prioritizing, setting goals, and achieving them, at your pace!

My work is person-centered, and influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT).
I have always believed that healthy interpersonal communication is one of the most dynamic and invaluable resources that we have at our disposal. In counseling, as in life, I aim to cultivate a practice of empathetic wellness intervention in service of creating clear and coherent communication across race, class, gender and sexuality, while also prioritizing community, accessibility, and holistic wellness. I enjoy working with interpersonal relationships, familial trauma, anxiety, guilt/shame, and identity formation, and am especially interested in working with women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ populations.

I enjoy helping individuals learn more about themselves and finding balance in the different areas of their lives through creative therapy and talk therapy. I specialize in substance use disorders, communication skills, and emotional regulation. I believe in the indivisible connection between the body and the mind, focusing on how our mental health affects our bodies and how our physical health affects our minds. I connect with clients using a person-centered approach, but I value the structure of behavioral techniques and the benefits of motivational interviewing to help promote change.

I incorporate different therapeutic approaches, including person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy.
Sometimes we find ourselves questioning the deeper meaning of our lives, feeling overwhelmed, or disconnected from our true selves. Reflections like these often mark the beginning of a journey towards growth and healing. I focus on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your present feelings and how they influence your behaviors. Other approaches I utilize in helping you navigate daily challenges involve identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors, as well as reframing them.
