About

Through rapport-building and a collaborative, judgment-free therapeutic relationship, I strive to create a safe and comforting space in which my clients gain insight into their lives, feel empowered, and experience reduced symptoms. I exude warmth and compassion with my clients and support them as they learn about their emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and work towards their goals. My clients have described me as patient, trustworthy, validating, and engaging. I have helped individuals struggling with depression and anxiety, stress management, ADHD, self-esteem, relationship issues, grief, and life/cultural transitions. I use an eclectic theoretical orientation that includes cognitive behavioral (CBT), interpersonal, and person-centered approaches. I prioritize my clients' goals and ensure that I meet them where they are at so that their needs are met in sessions. I have worked with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults.
