Guiding You Toward Lasting Change and Connection
I believe that we are all doing the best that we can given the cards that we have been dealt, and that we can make changes in order to consciously create ourselves and mold us into the people that we want to become.
Humans are social creatures geared for relationships. Love and support are the foundations of happiness, and these relationships need ongoing tending. As your therapist, it is my job to join you in digging into topics, planting seeds of growth, and helping you nurture your relationships.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can get vulnerable and also be challenged. I strive to do therapy in a culturally competent manner, focused on human equity, and in consideration of intergenerational trauma and socio-cultural influences. I work from a narrative and emotion-focused lens while implementing somatic techniques to increase self-awareness.
Specializing in couples struggling with communication, and young adults (16-25), and grief.
How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but the light bulb has to want to change itself
evening and weekend sessions available!
I welcome people from all walks of life and beliefs. As a therapist trained with an emphasis on equity and inclusion, I aim to be a safe option for minorities and anyone who identifies with a marginalized community.
Romantic Relationships * My Specialty
Communication is at the core of romantic relationships, but sometimes it can feel like there is a wall or disconnection.
I enjoy working with all types of relationships and aim for our sessions to feel collaborative and empowering. My theory of change focuses on understanding the motivations behind our reactions to deeply connect with one another.
Young Adults
The phase of self-discovery, autonomy, and exploration in young adulthood comes with huge challenges that can often lead to feelings of overwhelm or self-doubt.
My goal is to sit with my clients, co-design goals and skills, and equip them to face their challenges with confidence and pride on their path of self-creation.
Individuals
All stages of life come with their own challenges, and I am here for it all.
Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, gender/sexuality identity challenges, or trauma processing, therapy can bring relief and hope for the future.
