I have extensive experience working in a variety of settings, ranging from individuals dealing with substance use to those recovering from trauma; this also includes a variety of people, extending my help and skills to the LGBTQ+ community to those requiring palliative care. My aim is to empower clients to recognize their inner strength and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. I strive to guide clients towards fostering a healthy mindset that aligns with their own definitions of well-being.
Drawing from a multi-modal theoretical framework, I place a strong emphasis on existential theory to support clients in gaining self-awareness and understanding their environment. I often use metaphor and humor to encourage clients to explore their lives from different angles and uncover their own sources of meaning.
Finding a therapist who can best meet your needs is essential. If my approach resonates with you, please don't hesitate to get in touch and arrange a session!

I work with clients of various backgrounds, such as POC and Queer communities, to help with struggles of depression, neurodivergence, and anxiety. The initial sessions would be focused on building trust and understanding of the situations that clients find themselves in. Once clients feel comfortable, we would collaborate on the best ways to address issues that are brought up.

I often like to use the type of therapy that would best be understood by the client. In the first session and as we got to know one another, I would decide in which ways you'd benefit from one type of therapy from another. With existential therapy at the forefront, I will focus on elements from it, such as honoring pain, free will, and so forth.
