I am committed to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to cultivate their inner strengths and feel more empowered in their lives. Whether you are navigating life changes, looking to improve your relationship with yourself and others, or processing challenges from the past, I am here to listen and support you with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. I have experience working with adults of all ages in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity development, life transitions, LGBTQIA+, multicultural issues, and career development.
Using a person-centered approach, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help clients process their life experiences and develop lasting skills for growth and change. We will work together to identify your goals, and each session will be tailored to your individual needs and areas of focus.
As a biracial therapist and an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am passionate about working with multicultural populations and exploring the intersectionality of various identities. I incorporate evidence-based practices with warmth, empathy, humor, and validation. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, affirming, and respectful.
