I understand how overwhelming it can feel when life’s challenges seem insurmountable. I am dedicated to offering trauma-informed care to both youth and adults navigating neurodivergence, OCD, anxiety, mood disorders, interpersonal relationships, and identity formation. I also provide tailored support for individuals experiencing PTSD, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and affirming care for queer identities. If you're seeking growth and a greater sense of safety in your body, I am here to support you.
My goal is to be an ally on your journey. In therapy, I take a holistic approach, blending creativity and play with evidence-based techniques to foster emotional exploration and healing. My approach draws from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and multicultural therapy (MCT).
I’m committed to diversity and cultural awareness, ensuring that each client’s background and experiences are honored and integrated into the therapeutic process. I offer a collaborative, empowering environment where clients feel truly heard. Together, we will work to overcome challenges, build resilience, and foster personal growth.
