At heart, I am a humanistic therapist - seeking to help my clients live more fulfilling lives, heading in the path of their chosen values. I operate from a strengths based and solution-focused lens.

I center the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and other world-majority cultures, and LGBTQIA+. Deciding to seek support for life problems can be an important first step toward taking care of your self. I appreciate the opportunity to support you.

My approach is not to put you on the coach for years. Rather, my goal is to "get you back into the game, as soon as possible." By empowering you to deal with future issues, I am able to work myself out of a job. You will work with me once per month.
In our sessions we'll work collaboratively to identify what is causing you to feel stressed or burned out, develop strategies to get you unstuck, and identify what you want from life.

I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which involves identifying what you want in life and how you want to show up for yourself and others. We work on viewing thoughts and feelings as information rather than as driving forces.
