About My Clients

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who want practical tools and real change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in conflict, weighed down by anxiety, or uncertain about the future. My Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approach emphasizes strengths, resources, and small, meaningful steps that build momentum toward your goals. I also create an inclusive and affirming space for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized communities where clients can feel sa

My Background and Approach

My work is grounded in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), an approach that helps you move toward your preferred future by focusing on what’s already working and building on your existing strengths. Rather than staying stuck in problems, we explore possibilities, resources, and the small changes that can create big shifts. I also integrate Narrative Therapy and culturally responsive, holistic practices to ensure therapy feels relevant and respectful of your lived experiences. Together, we’ll co-create goals that feel realistic, meaningful, and tailored to your unique values and identity. Whether in individual, couple, or family sessions, my goal is to help you experience progress you can see and feel—often in a shorter timeframe.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy should be a collaborative, empowering experience where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I value helping people discover resilience and solutions within themselves, rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all advice. This belief aligns with my use of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which is rooted in the idea that you already have the strengths and resources you need to create change. Outside of my work, I’m passionate about fostering community connections, uplifting marginalized voices, and creating spaces where vulnerability and growth are celebrated.
