I provide counseling to young adults navigating the complexities of independence and attachment, trust and confidence, peer and sibling dynamics, dating and commitment, trauma, school and career transitions, sexual identity and intimacy, and overall well-being. Young adulthood is often a time of rapid growth and uncertainty, and therapy can provide space to make sense of these experiences with greater clarity and intention. I affirm and support clients who identify as BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent. Together, we identify and implement strategies to manage cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based therapy, trauma informed, mindfulness, and behavioral approaches to help clients explore how their relational history and lived experiences shape current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
I'm deeply empathic with an ability to use compassion, future-oriented thinking, and directness to guide and encourage you through the hard places so you can get through, and come out the other side.My goal is to equip you with the clarity, resilience, and strategies needed to manage stress and distress, and move forward with greater confidence and peace.
