About My Clients

I work with individuals who feel stuck or trapped to create personal meanings and connections to their identities and gain a sense of known and cohesive self. In relationship counseling, I specialize in working with partners who feel they come from different backgrounds and helping them to build a life together. I help these partners to hold each other’s stories and intimately understand the significance of each other’s histories in order to facilitate connection, trust, intimacy, and growth.

My Background and Approach

I believe in the transformative power of expressing who you are and how you truly feel. My intention is to create a warm, relaxed, judgment-free space that gives you the freedom to just be yourself and feel your feelings. My style as a therapist is open-minded, collaborative, and flexible. I prioritize getting to know you and what’s important to you in order to build a secure foundation for our work together. Within the safety of the therapeutic relationship we will work together to make sense of your experiences and build confidence to move forward in your life the way you want to. My clinical experience includes helping individuals and those in relationships work through anxiety, depression, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, codependence, and complex trauma. I practice from the lenses of relational-cultural theory, narrative therapy, and attachment theory. I am passionate to help clients to gain a sense of known and cohesive self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone should have the right to decide for themselves who they want to be and how they want to show up in the world. Working together, we can challenge rules and create space for you to be your full self.
