I work with adults who feel stuck and are longing for deeper meaning in their lives. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or major life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals working through identity-based issues, including the impact of discrimination, stigma, and culturally oppressive systems. In our work together, we may explore deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity while also building practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and create sustainable change.
I specialize in trauma processing, grief work, addressing negative thoughts and core beliefs, and examining how systemic and cultural factors shape mental health. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive therapy, existential therapy, and narrative therapy.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where you are the expert on your life, and I provide guidance, structure, and reflection to help you move forward in ways that align with your values. Taking the first step can feel vulnerable, but it can also open the door to meaningful change. I invite you to reach out and take the next step toward healing.
