About My Clients

With over 20 years of experience in mental health counseling, I am able to create a warm, inclusive, and culturally responsive therapeutic environment where clients can feel truly seen and supported on their healing journey.

My Background and Approach

My practice is grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based approach that acknowledges each client's unique experiences and inherent resilience. I draw from various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based interventions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and motivational interviewing. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I balance empathetic listening with gentle challenging when needed, always moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we'll work to understand your patterns, strengthen your coping skills, and help you move toward your goals for a more fulfilling life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who holds multiple marginalized identities myself, I understand the profound impact that systemic oppression, trauma, and life transitions can have on mental health and wellbeing. I believe in creating a therapeutic space that honors your full identity and lived experiences while supporting you in developing practical tools for healing and growth.
