About My Clients

Some of my clients have reported feeling overwhelmed, stressed, sad, anxious, or stuck due to their identify. My goal is to assist you with discovering your true self and walk with you during this transition. I believe you deserves to feel understood and supported in a safe and affirming atmosphere. I know that your experiences, culture, and identity are unique to you and our time together will reflect that.

My Background and Approach

I believe therapy should be as practical as it is supportive. My approach is solution-oriented; I use evidence-based methods like ACT and CBT to help you break through the "stuck" points of anxiety and relationship conflict. I bring a grounded, expert perspective to help you build the internal strengths needed to face life with renewed clarity and confidence.
