About My Clients
My clients are often teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, relationships, or expectations from others. Many are trying to figure out who they are, how to manage emotions, or how to move forward after difficult experiences. They want to feel more confident and grounded but aren’t sure where to start. Together, we work on building insight, emotional regulation, and healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges.
My Background and Approach
I strongly hold the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and my purpose is to establish a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely express your authentic self, explore your strengths, and empower yourself to attain the life you aspire to. Together, we will find the right tools and strategies that you need to flourish and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. My therapeutic approach is founded on collaboration and compassion. Guided by a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective, I integrate evidence-based modalities that go beyond traditional talk therapy. My approach engages both the mind and body, helping you process and release stuck emotions or experiences that words alone can’t always reach. I am EMDR-trained and incorporate elements of that work alongside parts work, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I hold a profound belief in the potential for healing and transformation within each individual. The human spirit possesses remarkable resilience, and in the right therapeutic partnership, we can delve into the barriers that impede progress and address the shadows of the past that may linger. I am trained in applying a multicultural perspective in therapy, with experience in examining intersecting identities, such as those related to race, gender, culture, sexual orientation and identity, spirituality, and religious backgrounds.
