About My Clients

I welcome clients from diverse cultures, race, ethnicity and sexuality. I work with teens (14+) and adults with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have extensive experience working with teens and adults, especially survivors of gender-based violence and/or those who have witnessed family violence in their childhood. I’ve also had a passion to work with LGBTQAI+ community members, immigrants, POC (person of color), and multicultural populations.

My Background and Approach

I am a firm believer that everyone has inner strengths and wisdom. We sometimes do not know how to connect to them. I’m here to support you to find new ways to reconnect you to them. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process where you and I take this journey together to learn more about yourself. I integrate various treatment approaches (Person-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, CBT, etc.) with other creative, nontraditional methods.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space. Seeking help takes a lot of courage and strengths, and I believe scheduling a free consultation is an important first step for us to see if we are a good fit. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.
