| español Currently do not accept Medicare, Medicaid or HMO insurance at this time; adults 18+ for individual therapy only.
I value authenticity, collaboration, and mutual respect in the therapeutic process. I do not believe in hierarchies within the therapy room—you don’t need to censor yourself or worry about taking care of me emotionally. This space is for you. My role is to walk beside you as you gain clarity, build on your strengths, and uncover new possibilities for growth and healing. I aim to support clients in standing fully in their truth, and in reclaiming their voice and agency.
I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, boundary issues, and life transitions. I have experience working with first- and second-generation clients, LGBTQIA+ communities, kink, polyamory/ENM, and take a HAES-informed approach. My work is identity-affirming and culturally responsive.
I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported just as they are. I approach this work from a multicultural/anti-oppressive lens, honoring ways identity, culture, and lived experience shape a person’s story. I take an integrative approach—drawing from Person-Centered, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.
