Therapy requires a great deal of vulnerability, so I understand the trepidation that comes with it. Because of this, I utilize a Person-Centered approach to meet clients where they’re at in their process. My approach is to create an authentic connection with each of my clients and to work collaboratively with them in addressing their concerns. I practice with a multicultural lens and seek to understand how a client’s culture and identity impacts them, and how our differing identities show up in the therapy room. Therapy can be scary and painful, but it can also be beautiful and transformative with time.
I specialize in individual therapy, supporting adults and teenagers (14+) in the following areas: Anxiety, OCD, Depression, Eating Disorders, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Life transitions, Trauma, Complex PTSD, First Responders, Grief & Loss, BIPOC Mental Health, Racial/Cultural Identity, Relationship Issues.
I pull from evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions rooted in Multicultural counseling, Person-Centered, Existential, ACT/DBT/CBT and Family Systems Frameworks. I believe that a person isn’t determined by their past, and the choices each person makes determines their essence, and my goal is to work beside you in living an authentic life.

I utilize a person-centered approach throughout the therapeutic process and emphasize working collaboratively with each client, where they feel like they have agency in the room. It is really important for me to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, where they feel safe and comfortable enough to speak about their story and feel heard.
