I work with clients of all ages, as well as couples and families, and I’m proud to provide an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients. My clinical focus includes managing life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, grief, and stress. I support clients exploring their identity, building self-esteem, and navigating relationship challenges. I believe that our past experiences and the systems around us shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed approach, and I strive to meet each client with warmth, curiosity, and genuine care.
I believe therapy works best when it feels supportive, collaborative, and grounded in trust. You can expect a personalized approach, with evidence-based interventions carefully tailored to meet your unique needs. My experience includes working with the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities as they navigate their identities and overcome complex systemic barriers.
I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, reflect openly, and gain tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and clarity. We will build a supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing not only what brought you here but also celebrating the positive aspects of your life.

I use a trauma-informed approach in my practice. In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and move at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Together, we'll explore how past experiences may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, and reactions today. Throughout our work, I prioritize safety, choice, and collaboration to support healing, resilience, and a sense of control.
