As a counseling intern and student, I offer fresh perspectives, curiosity, and up-to-date learning—supported by close supervision from experienced clinicians—to provide care that is collaborative, ethical, and centered on your goals. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and truly heard—a place to openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. I meet clients where they are, offering understanding and support to discuss challenges and areas for growth. I have experience working with adolescents and emerging adults, and I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds.
My approach is integrative and tailored to you. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care. Guided by cultural humility and inclusivity, I aim to create a safe, respectful space for those who haven’t felt fully seen in mental health settings.
My goal is to provide consistent support and guidance while respecting individuality, empowering you to make decisions in taking steps that feel meaningful to you. I offer pro bono individual therapy and am currently accepting new clients.
