I have experience working with young children, adolescents, young and older adults between the ages of 6-40 years old. In my work with young children, I focus on regulating their emotions, enhancing their sense of self-esteem, coping with any stressors that they may be experiencing, as well as teaching them coping skills so that they can manage their behaviors in the future. The aim of my work with adults is to guide you through life's challenges by exploring your self-awareness in order to cope with life's adversities. My desire as your therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment where I can meet you where you are.

My ideal client is a person who seeks help to navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, and trauma. They may feel overwhelmed with their symptoms or that nobody understands what they are going through. They want a provider who embraces a holistic approach that honors each individual's humanity.

My ideal client is someone who’s struggled to find support or felt judged for seeking help. They may live with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, or other mental health challenges—and feel isolated or misunderstood. They want relief, stability, and the confidence to manage life again. I meet clients where they are, providing compassionate, evidence-based care that restores hope and dignity.
