About My Clients
You may be dealing with anxiety, depression or grief while also trying to manage relationships, work or a major change in your life. Perhaps the past still affects how you respond to people now, or you feel disconnected from what matters to you. I work with adults, including people navigating trauma, chronic illness, identity and family difficulties. We’ll understand what is happening and what you want to change. To work with me, book through my website.
My Background and Approach
My style is warm, grounded and conversational. I tend to listen more than I talk, but I’ll also offer honest feedback, notice patterns you may have missed and tell you the hard thing when I think it could help. Clients have described me as calming, compassionate and easy to talk to. I use ACT, CBT, IFS, psychodynamic therapy and trauma-focused approaches. We may look at how the past is affecting the present, get curious about different parts of you that want conflicting things or build practical skills for coping with difficult emotions. I’ll also help you clarify what matters to you and make choices that feel more aligned with those values. You can set the pace, and sessions can respond to what you need that day. At the same time, we’ll keep sight of what brought you to therapy and the changes you want to make.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people are more able to change when they feel genuinely seen, not judged or reduced to a diagnosis. Therapy should give you room to understand yourself while also being honest about what is no longer working. I come from a multiracial and culturally mixed background, and I pay attention to how culture, identity and belonging shape the way we understand ourselves. I also have personal experience with grief, chronic pain, mental health recovery and changing careers. These experiences inform my work without leading me to assume that your experience will be the same as mine. I value creativity, reflection and humor. Therapy can make space for painful experiences without every conversation feeling heavy.
