About My Clients

I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, addictions, phobias, relationship and identity challenges. I also support individuals navigating cultural adjustments, experiences of houselessness, and accessing local resources. My focus is to meet clients where they are and help them build the skills, insight, and resilience to move forward with clarity and curiosity.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic style is client-centered, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, creative and affirming. I aim to hold a space grounded in trust, empathy, and compassion, where clients feel safe to explore challenges and discover new possibilities for growth. I draw from systemic therapies, solution-focused brief therapy, crisis counseling, creative arts therapies, group therapy, DBT, ACT, and CBT. These integrative approaches allow me to tailor therapy to each client’s unique strengths, needs and goals.
