About My Clients

Using clients' insights, strengths and resilience I support and help our clients become the people they wish to be. My favorite part of supporting client's is supporting them in self-discovery and strengthening their sense of self.

My Background and Approach

I believe that every individual no matter what path they have taken to get to where they are now in life deserves to be heard, seen and empowered. I show unconditional positive regard to every client. What does that mean? I see light and potential in every client no matter their values or actions. Why? An individual is not going to be able to unpack their burden's if they worry that their therapist is going to look or think of them differently once they begin to disclose. My approach as a therapist is a person-centered approach and strength based. I am also trained in CBT and integrate different interventions to meet client needs. I strive to create an open safe space for individuals to be their authentic-self and receive acceptance, kindness, and support. My goal for you is to give you the space you deserve to show the most authentic version of yourself feeling supported and empowered.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a member of counselors for social justice as well as SAIGE (Counselors and Related Professionals Serving Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Communities). I am an advocate for juvenile justice in favor of creating a more equitable rehabilitation method that does not involve incarceration. Project Rise believes in providing high quality services to all individuals as well as increasing access for those with socioeconomic barriers by offering sliding scale and a limited amount of pro bono slots. We affirm the dignity, worth and value of all individuals. Project Rise Counseling promotes inclusion and the affirmation of diverse identities. We recognize the continuous pervasive effects of systemic racism, violence and racial trauma hindering the well-being of individuals and strive to create space for all.
