I have worked as a trauma informed therapist since 2011. I specialize in adolescents and adults who face various mental health and identity development challenges. I am a grounded, honest, compassionate and well-rounded clinician. I tailor my approach to fit my clients’ specific goals and incorporate various techniques, which include: psychodynamic, relational, inter-subjective, DBT/CBT, motivational, trauma-informed, strengths-based and solution-focused therapies.
I am here to help you on your journey to become who you are. I approach each client as a complex individual with a unique narrative. I affirm and empower all genders, sexualities, ethnicities and traditions in the lifelong practice of positively embracing and mastering self-identity.
"When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak." – Audre Lorde
