I understand that each individual comes from a complex and unique background. Due to this, I thoroughly believe that therapy can not be effective under a “one-size-fits-all” perspective.

Through this approach our sessions will be a gratifying experience in which we identify the root of your concerns and make positive change.

Seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care, and I aim to honor your bravery in a safe, warm, and affirming environment. I tend to work with teens and emerging adults navigating anxiety, negative body image, complex family dynamics, and the impact of trauma and difficult childhood events. Often, my clients’ issues and experiences lead to coping mechanisms that impede health: negative self-talk, disordered eating, compulsive behaviors, and blurry family boundaries.
