In our first session, I focus on understanding my clients and their reasons for seeking therapy. I make sure they feel valued and deserving of help. I empower them to handle tough emotions and change negative thoughts. I offer tools, clinical insight, and perspective to boost their confidence in dealing with any issues that arise. My goal is for them to leave therapy with a greater sense of balance in their lives.

I offer a range of therapies like creative, client-centered, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness. My goal is to tailor the treatment to your specific interests, personality, goals, and needs.
Together, we discuss goals and needs and develop plans accordingly.

I value client's innate wisdom and operate from the belief that clients are the experts of their own experience. I utilize holistic, strengths-based, and person centered approaches, while incorporating a systemic, feminist, and social justice lens.
Create a partnership between therapist & client. I believe my role is to guide you, walk alongside you, & be a mirror to your self & window to the possibilities and opportunities ahead.

I am inspired by clients who are seeking to reach the best version of themselves or who find themselves exhausted by themselves and are looking to break out of cycles that are no longer serving them.
We will explore what brings you to therapy, your day to day functioning, and how your relationship with your parents shaped your current way of navigating the world. We will want to draw on strengths that have seen you through hardship in the past.

My approach draws from solution based practices, Gottman and IMAGO therapy. We do explore past issues as a way of seeing patterns that contribute to current concerns as well as personal strengths that can be used to improve interactions.
