I believe that healing is not just about managing symptoms — it’s about returning to wholeness. As a psychotherapist my role will be to facilitate your growth, with you as the decision-maker in what directions we should follow along the journey. Through person-centered, multicultural, and evidence-based methods, I will help you to explore past and present issues affecting your health, going along with your pace as we discover what is important to you in journeying through life. I also use an emotionally focused approach to help individuals and couples towards deeper connection and intimacy.
Whether we are focusing on stress, relationship challenges or life transitions, you will leave each session with greater insight into your patterns, practical tools to support your well-being, and a renewed sense of hope and direction. My goal is for you to walk away feeling lighter, more grounded and empowered to take the next steps in your healing journey.
I have experience working with a variety of mental health challenges and theories, including the management of anxiety, depression, and trauma through theories of intersectionality and compassion. I enjoy working with college-aged adults working through identity development, relationship challenges, and the stress of being a college student.
