Introduction

No one else knows your life story and background like you. I aim to provide a safe, inclusive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, which is needed for effective therapy. As a culturally humble and social-justice oriented therapist, I am dedicated to getting to know the real you. I take a collaborative approach and honor your expertise. My therapeutic style works best for people who are motivated to learn about themselves, ways they’ve learned to survive adversity, and new ways of understanding their lived experience. It’s an honor to serve my clients in therapy. I have extensive experience working with adults, especially women/females assigned at birth, with anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, and neurodiverse identities. I'm hopeful that our time together will help you feel empowered to make decisions that are more congruent with your true self. I commend you for taking time to search for a therapist who meets your needs. Reaching out to begin therapy is the hardest part. There is no "right time" to start therapy, and I am ready to meet you where you are on your journey. Please feel free to call or email me to inquire about therapy with me. I look forward to hearing from you!
