Welcome! I am accepting new clients! I have experience engaging with identity development, especially around racial and LGBTQ+ experiences, and work compassionately with adolescents, young adults, and adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach to counseling is rooted in warmth and collaboration, fostering genuine connection and emotional safety for every client. I believe that healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and understood, and my goal is to help clients feel empowered in their identities and capable in their lives.
I integrate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to support you in managing daily challenges and building practical skills. I approach my work through a Relational-Cultural lens, grounded in the belief that growth happens in the context of meaningful relationships.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s okay to have questions or feel unsure. I’m here to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself and exploring what matters most to you. Reach out for a phone consult or to schedule your first appointment.
