Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, but rather it is shaped by your needs and life experiences. Starting therapy can be daunting but I am here to make it feel less intimidating. It is my purpose to find what sets everyone apart, helping you discover and develop the tools you have within you. We are all human. With that comes imperfections, differences, and experiences that impact who we are. Therapy is a non-judgmental space to remind the inner critic that it does not belong. Humanity is strength. I value showing up authentically and genuinely. I am human too, imperfections and all, and I seek to remind you that you are not alone.
I am interested in working with individuals or couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, multiracial identity, life transitions, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and learning to create balance in one's life. I am also passionate about working with individuals through their identity exploration and in creating comfort with one's identity.
My therapeutic approach is shaped by person-centered, humanistic, narrative and internal family systems therapy. I believe it is important to follow your lead, as the client, to find what process works best for you. Therapy is your space and time to gain the support you need, no matter what that may be. I look forward to learning how to best meet your needs.
