Life can be overwhelming, and it's okay to seek support. I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach to help you navigate anxiety, trauma, and significant life changes, tailored to the unique needs of each individual. My foundation in educational policy, leadership, and social justice from the University of Washington for my bachelor’s degree, followed by a Master’s of Education in School Counseling from the University of Southern California, serves as a multifaceted backdrop to my career transition into mental health counseling.
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in compassion and a person-centered approach, which forms the cornerstone of my practice. I meet clients where they are in their journey, fostering a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. I provide convenient and confidential services exclusively through remote HIPAA Compliant telehealth sessions.
I am committed to continuous professional development, recognizing the importance of self-improvement, just as my clients endeavor to enhance their lives. I believe in the transformative power of therapy to navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Together, we embark on a collaborative journey towards healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.
