About My Clients

A successful therapeutic environment is created by both the client and therapist working to maintain a warm, welcoming space in which each party feels understood and respected. My greatest hope as a therapist is that my clients are able to take away a sense of empowerment from our mutually created space. I work predominantly with those navigating life stressors, anxiety, depression, and trauma by offering approaches personalized to fit the client's needs.

My Background and Approach

I prioritize individuality in care, working to find ways to best support my clients in a way that is innovative, empowering, and collaborative. I enjoy bringing my clients to the table to discuss treatment, pulling the veil back on therapy and allowing for a greater understanding of how clients think, feel, and respond. I utilize various modalities and tools to achieve goals, but lean on a foundation of person-centered therapy that is etched into every element of my practice.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a strong advocate for my clients, and believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. While this is the case, I acknowledge that counseling does not eradicate the centuries of oppression for minority groups. I believe in the promise of a better world, but will always consider societal impacts on one's lived experience. I got my start in counseling by providing counseling services to those experiencing severe mental illness, before honing in my skills by supporting those navigating financial strain who otherwise may not have otherwise had the opportunity to benefit from a therapeutic relationship. I have volunteered extensively with organizations aiming to support youth, providing outlets for leadership development and community service. I am heavily involved in my local community and believe in being a part of change.
