I am deeply drawn to person-centered therapy and committed to creating a safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and grounded in the core values of empathy, respect, and unconditional positive regard.
While my foundation lies in person-centered principles, I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Family Systems Therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. I have experience supporting individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression
I believe that meaningful therapeutic work happens through genuine rapport and collaboration. I view therapy as a partnership—one in which clients are empowered on their path toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.
