About My Clients

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed out? Are you a people pleaser struggling to find space for your own needs? Are you ready to explore, heal, and grow? Life can be tough, and reaching out for help is a brave step towards change. I love working long term with clients who are committed to building a therapeutic relationship that supports you through challenges and successes. I’m here to provide a safe and compassionate space where we tackle challenges together as a collaborative team.

My Background and Approach

*I am only providing individual counseling, and am not taking new couples or family clients at this time.* Blending many treatment orientations (ie Social Justice, Feminist, and Humanistic frameworks), I am an eclectic therapist who uses a variety of interventions to build a personalized plan that suits your needs. I provide trauma-informed care to help you build resilience and leverage your strengths. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, or just need someone to talk to, we'll work together to find your path forward. I'm especially passionate about supporting queer and BIPOC communities and I’m committed to continuous learning to ensure I offer the most inclusive and affirming care possible. My approach is anti-oppressive and culturally humble, ensuring you feel understood and respected as we navigate the socio-cultural and political challenges that are affecting your everyday life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As your therapist, I believe in the uniqueness of your journey. My counseling style is all about being real and engaged; my goal is to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. We're partners in this process, and your insights guide our path. I’m here to support you through every challenge, whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues. Let’s work together to find what works best for you and focus on your well-being.
