About My Clients

Are you feeling unable to connect with others? Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Life can be overwhelming; everyone deserves somebody in their corner. I believe that when one has hope, feels accepted, and values themselves, they can build meaningful relationships and affect real and positive change in their lives. Through collaborative inquiry, we can peel back the layers of what is going on for you, affording you the opportunity of self-discovery.

My Background and Approach

I am an existential, humanistic therapist, working to foster growth and self-awareness for my clients. I work from a systemic approach, which involves collaborative examination of not just one’s functioning, but of one's overall system, and how that system impacts the individual (and vice versa). I work through a trauma-informed lens and with cultural attunement and sensitivity. I believe you have unique potential and abilities. Together, we can develop new coping skills—including problem-solving and stress relief—that will be helpful when you are faced with problems in your life. We will work to foster self-esteem and self-efficacy, that can help you feel more capable as you deal with the challenges you may be experiencing. My goal is to help you increase you self-esteem and to be more authentic in your daily life.
