Great to meet you!

I am a psychotherapist using different modalities and theories to support my work. I feel a mission to help individuals start their healing journey through connection and relationship-building. I believe in supporting you in navigating your life and making choices with a greater level of intentionality and control. Together we will work on making decisions and generally living with a better sense of purpose and direction.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that healing is collaborative work. I provide you with a safe space where we can honor your past experiences, explore your inner life, increase self-awareness into current thoughts and behaviors, and work toward developing tools and strategies to overcome life’s challenges at a pace that feels right for you. I join you by using a culturally-competent, attachment/strength-based, and trauma-informed approach.

What you can expect from our first session

As a trauma-informed therapist, I strongly believe that our bodies and minds hold onto past experiences and that these experiences tend to shape us in many ways that can influence the relationship that we have with ourselves and others.

I have extensive experience and training in supporting adults through anxiety, depression, issues with mood, shame, and doubt, and general adjustment challenges in these changing times.
