I specialize working with 18+, adults, & people in the LGBTQIA+ community. My strengths are working with those who struggle with trauma, multicultural issues, & life stressors. In my sessions I tend to use a person-centered approach, where I’m able to emphasize an individuals or couples needs for the care they are seeking. I would like to consider myself an eclectic therapist since I tend to pull from different therapeutic modalities during my sessions & curate a session that best fits the client. I am my most authentic self when I’m getting to know a client, & I want you to be your most authentic self during our sessions.
I would like to describe my current therapy approach as decolonizing traditional therapy practices, as well as 'formally-informal'; I like to make therapy sound like two people having a conversation. I feel that my personal experience amplifies my clinical experience to connect with my patients. Overall, I’m here to build a genuine relationship with you.
Sometimes sessions will be difficult, other times they will be light & we’ll most likely share a laugh or two. You can expect my sessions to feel safe, genuine & progressive at their own rate. I’m a therapist because of my own journey & I only wished that someone had reached out to me the way that I will gladly reach out to you if given the chance.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy & then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions & experience. During treatment, I'll help you process your thoughts & trauma to help you improve how you see yourself, others & the world!
