I approach therapy with a warm, collaborative spirit, grounded in the belief that healing and growth can happen in a safe and caring environment. My goal is to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences, whether you are going through life changes, managing a harsh inner critic, or trying to find clarity in your relationships. Having gone through my own experiences and healing journey, I bring a hopeful and understanding perspective to our work. This background helps me connect with you in a genuine way, offering both empathy and encouragement as you move forward.
I understand that the path to healing is unique for each individual, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Drawing from an eclectic blend of evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I strive to integrate strategies that best support your unique needs and goals. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally humble, focusing on your unique situation and respecting your background so we can work together to address your challenges comprehensively and foster lasting change and growth.
