My approach is multidisciplinary, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), feminist theory, and principles of social justice in my clinical work. I tailor my methods to align with each client’s social identity and individual needs, recognizing that presenting problems, behaviors, and responses are deeply intertwined with their environmental and social context. I specialize in assisting clients from diverse backgrounds who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, intimate partner violence, life transitions and other challenges impacting their lives.

Anxiety, Childhood Trauma, Neurodiversity, Depression, ADHD, and Burnout are some of the most common issues that I focus on managing in my practice. Clients who I work with learn to turn towards themselves in order to manage stress, heal from trauma, and create and reinforce healthy boundaries. Many past clients have described "a weight being lifted" after our work together. Building a therapeutic alliance, we will work to identify needs, strengthen the relationship with yourself, and reinforce self-acceptance and empathy. Despite the suffering we all experience at times, we can still find immense relief and joy in this life.

My ideal client comes to treatment with countless questions. One of these questions include not knowing why they need help. However, they have a desire to do the work warranted to leave treatment better than when they started.

Have the days seemed harder to get by than usual for you? Trying to navigate the aftermath of our most recent pandemic, challenges at work, home and/or school, or maybe just trying to figure out what the next steps are in life - I get it, and I want to help you through that! I know what it's like when mental health issues like trauma, anxiety, stress or depression make even simple tasks seem impossible. That's where I come in.

So many of us are taught to chase happiness—an emotion that can feel fleeting and out of reach. But what if your true goal is a sense of lasting peace? Making peace with your past while holding hope for your future might feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As Rumi said, “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
