About My Clients
I have a heart for connecting with people, and a passion for incorporating the emotional, cultural, relational, spiritual, and physical aspects of wellness into my sessions. My therapeutic approach aims to facilitate movement away from anxiety and depression, and towards a future that makes my clients feel strong, capable, and fulfilled. When working with me, you will learn to celebrate your individual strengths, learn more about your patterns and motivators, and discover what gives you hope.
My Background and Approach
I implement a variety of interventions based on each client’s individual needs, including attachment-focused, emotion-focused, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), DBT, CBT, and various trauma-informed interventions. I have completed training through the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) through the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). Throughout my career as a counselor, I have worked as a trauma therapist, a college counselor and academic advisor, and a crisis counselor specializing in suicide counseling. I have years of experience working with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, spiritual and religious concerns, and relationship concerns. I have also presented at a national level regarding the treatment of suicidality within a multicultural framework.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every human has the capacity to change. I also believe every human is worthy, and deserving of a space to feel respected, listened to, and safe enough to move towards the future they want for themselves. I myself have experienced the freedom that can come from healing, and I want to help you feel that freedom too. One of my favorite parts about being a therapist is the chance to connect with SO many different people from different backgrounds and with different identities. And I am continuously grateful and humbled that I get to play even a small part in that story for so many of my clients. Specifically, I have a passion for working with immigrants, refugees, and those navigating the current political climate. I have attended protests and engaged in political advocacy. I see my role as therapist as another way to advocate within a greater movement towards necessary and life-saving change.
