About the therapist
Therapy is a space where you can fully exist and acknowledge all aspects of yourself — the parts you’re proud of, the parts you may struggle with, and the parts you’ve kept hidden from others. I honor and welcome every part of you. Together, we will explore your stories, work within your values and strengths, and help you live the life you want to live.
​
I work with adolescents (13+) and adults, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, multicultural identity development, life transitions, and self-esteem. Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk, struggling to process a difficult event, or finding it hard to achieve balance and fulfillment in your daily life, I’m here to support you. My approach to therapy is warm, nonjudgmental, laid-back, and compassionate. I practice from a trauma-informed, multicultural, and social justice-oriented worldview, with a passion for supporting clients with marginalized identities.
