I focus on providing a safe space for clients to explore and understand their experiences to guide toward our natural voice: intuition. My hope is to support clients in re-establishing and/or developing trust with themselves. I practice through a multiculturally competent, trauma-informed lens while listening to and learning from my clients. We all can grow through open conversation and open-mindedness. Some areas I have experience in include trauma/trauma-related disorders, eating disorders, anxiety/mood disorders, and substance use.
I integrate holistic and clinical interventions from CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Somatic Experiencing. Healing is individualized; not all skills fit our incredibly unique humanity, so you set the pace and we will work together to learn more about who you are to find what works.
Identity is at the core of self-love, so we will strengthen and water those roots. I welcome you to sit with me and tell your story. The adventure of life is not easy and I know that you can achieve any goal you set. In this space, let's find the tools that will help you tune into yourself.
