I am a Mental Health Counselor who has experience supporting young adults navigating substance use, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions such as BPD. I am especially passionate about working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ individuals, and neurodiverse populations. I am grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care and am dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that honors each individual's identity, resilience, and path toward healing. I integrate evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and psychoeducation with a person-centered approach.
