Finding a therapist that understands who we are can be extremely validating as they can understand our cultural context and we do not need to spend as much time explaining our daily experiences or environment.

I have knowledge and practice of many prominent counseling theories and will adapt my counseling approach to your needs and goals. I tend to implement a solution-focused approach in order to not only focus in on what your goals are, but also to get you to those goals as quickly as possible. While we develop solutions for your goals, I tend to think outside of the box and try to find unique solutions that are catered to you individually.

People long to connect. Research shows a newborn's first needs include bonding with their caregivers and that this desire for safety in attachment never fades. I believe our minds are healthiest when we are able to connect—to ourselves, to those around us, to what is beyond. But a complex world creates obstacles, and it avails us to articulate our human experience with compassion and to face wounds we have received and have inflicted. It is a privilege for me to walk alongside clients for a time, to be a compassionate sounding board and collaborator in the pursuit of a healthier mind and a more liberated spirit.

I offer compassionate, empowering therapy from a biopsychosocial and trauma-informed lens. I work best with clients who are interested in taking a closer look at how their inner and external experiences are contributing to their challenges and are wanting safe, relational support. I have clinical and research experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, identity crises, trauma, relationship issues and ADHD. My doctoral dissertation focuses on how political systems can affect our relationships with ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.

My therapy approach is about resolving problems using a relational and collaborative style.

Whether you need support dealing with a specific life event, managing ongoing mental health issues or life circumstances, or even if you aren't sure what you want to work on, I'm here to help!

My theoretical orientation is varied depending on your needs. I help you to formulate your therapy goals in a collaborative fashion. Although therapy can be distressing at times, I often use humor to decrease distress and increase coping skills.
In addition, I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) techniques to build resources for positive coping skills. EMDR can help you face uncomfortable emotions, such as anxiety or depression, and reprocess traumatic memories.

Therapy is a partnership in which we take the time to slow down together and look compassionately at what’s happening inside of you and in your relationships. It’s a courageous act in service of becoming a fuller version of you.

I have worked as a therapist in a wide range of settings for over a decade now, and during this time, the one thing that I have seen repeatedly is that the therapeutic process is wholly unique for each individual client, whether they be middle schoolers, college students, or senior adults. When it comes to my therapeutic approach, it is relational and person-centered. I have found that there is no “one-size-fits-all” template. I firmly believe that you, the client, are the expert on you, and my job is to facilitate your journey towards healing and trusting yourself.
