My Background and Approach

I help by first building a genuine connection so clients feel supported and not alone. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, SFBT, IFS, MI, and soon EMDR!) while tailoring care to each individual. I have experience supporting trauma, panic attacks, suicidal ideation, school stress, identity exploration, disconnection, cultural distress, and much more! I strive to create a space where you feel understood, capable, and supported. I lead with empathy, humor, and emotional education to help you build confidence and insight. We’ll move at your pace, working together toward your goals so you don’t have to navigate things alone. You can expect to feel understood, empowered, and supported in your growth.
