I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and my passion lies in helping individuals from a relational perspective and instilling hope and assurance in one's individual journey. I believe we all have a story and the right to be heard and seen and that is what I look to offer you within our therapeutic relationship. I believe the therapist-client relationship is integral to healing and as such, it should feel collaborative and free from judgment.
My approach
I work from an eclectic lens, often incorporating cognitive behavioral therapies, client-centered approaches, solution-focused interventions, and have been trained in Brainspotting.
My focus
I work primarily with individuals(18 and up), but have experience with children(0-5), adolescents, and families. I am comfortable working with individuals of all sexual orientations and genders. As a clinician, I strive for cultural humility and understanding of one's own individual cultural experience. I have experience treating a wide array of issues such as depression, anxiety, attachment concerns, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, change of life issues, divorce, adoption, and relational disorders.
My communication style
I want our sessions to feel warm, empathic, and a place where one can feel comfortable unpacking their needs. It is important that the therapeutic relationship feel genuine and aid in one's healing journey.
My journey to mental healthcare
I had the immense privilege of receiving the attention and care of a therapist who aided in my grief and loss journey of healing. I felt empowered by the warmth and compassion of the human spirit and was driven to impart change in the lives that I have the honor to be witness to.
My goals for you
I believe that clients are the catalyst to their own change and as such, goal setting is a collaborative process, crafted individually to meet one's individual needs.
My first session with you
During our first session, you should expect to be met with respect, empathy, and warmth. It is important to me that you feel heard and your specific needs in seeking therapy are addressed and attuned to.
