Congratulations on taking the first step on your therapy journey! Finding a good match and opening up to someone new can be intimidating and stressful- I totally understand! I strive to provide a warm and relaxed environment for all clients from your first inquiry call and onward.

 

I believe every individual is worthy of understanding, acceptance, and self-fulfillment.  I take a respectful and compassionate approach to give clients the safety and confidence they need to process and explore. Through a trauma-informed, strengths-based, & holistic lens, I seek to help clients tap into and empower their unique strengths for healing and growth.

 

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples from various cultural backgrounds, identities, and faiths. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, stress & burnout, perfectionism, self-esteem, identity exploration, phase of life adjustments, childhood trauma & attachment wounds, relationship issues, sexual dysfunction, college/career counseling, and parenting.  I truly value holding space for men and women from ethnocultural communities and BIPOC individuals.

 

I blend the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with trauma and attachment informed approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, Brainspotting, and mindfulness based therapies. I am a holistic minded therapist working to help you understand and create integration with your body-mind-spirit.  Additionally, I offer Faith-based counseling upon request.  I hope you reach out so we discuss how we can partner to help you thrive in the best version of yourself!
