About My Clients
I believe in every person’s worth and capacity for change and connection. This belief guides my work, and I lead each session with unconditional positive regard, leaving judgment at the door. This foundation shapes the work I do and the people I support in therapy. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and children navigating hurt and harm across different areas of their lives, including interpersonal relationships and larger social systems.
My Background and Approach
Through a trauma-informed, relational, and psychodynamic lens, I examine how early experiences shape us while encouraging you to move beyond. My therapeutic approach blends acceptance, cultural understanding, and empowerment. In our therapeutic work, I combine evidence-based approaches focusing on understanding your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, the Gottman Method, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and dialectical behavioral therapy. I aim to help you embrace reality while equipping you with tools to navigate challenges and shape your goals determined during and beyond our sessions. I incorporate strategies to help identify and shift unhelpful patterns, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful connections with yourself and others.
My Values as a Therapist
While I am drawn to exploring interpersonal connections, I also understand the overwhelming weight of the world we live in today. I recognize the harm happening in our communities, and it cannot be ignored; it must be considered in the context of each client's distinct identities, histories, beliefs, and values. My work is always grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own experience. That doesn’t mean you have to navigate your healing journey alone.
