Reaching out to a stranger for help isn't easy, and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to even consider it. My approach is collaborative and culturally responsive, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life.
Together, we'll explore how systemic and external factors may be shaping your relationship with yourself and with others. From that deeper understanding, we'll work to shift how you treat yourself and how you show up in the world around you. You don't have to navigate this alone.
I'm in-network with major plans through Headway, including Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, Oscar, and Cigna.
I utilize the modalities of narrative therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and structural family therapy. My goal is to help my clients effectively resolve conflict and develop healthy ways to connect with each other. I welcome clients navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, and the weight of systems that weren't built with them in mind.
In our work together, we'll identify the conditions shaping your experience and develop strategies to change how you relate to yourself and engage with others. My goal is to support meaningful, sustainable growth that reflects your values and lived experience.
