About My Clients

My work focuses on meeting my clients where they are and fostering a relationship that allows for positive growth and whole-body wellness. My compassionate and empathetic nature is revealed through genuine, non-judgmental, and collaborative spaces where possibilities can be explored. I enjoy empowering clients by facilitating awareness. I work with clients age 18 and up.

My Background and Approach

My approach is a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, mindfulness practices, strength-based, psychoeducation, etc. each tailored to each client's needs and life experiences. We all have a story, and I’m here to help you honor yours.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Whether you're grappling with the intersection of cultural expectations and personal desires, dealing with stress or anxiety, or healing from past trauma, I offer a space where you can explore these complexities in a way that is affirming, respectful, and deeply rooted in your unique background. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong with you, I focus on what has happened to you.​
