About My Clients

I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing significant life transitions, intimate partner challenges, anxiety, trauma, OCD, difficulties in navigating social and familial relationships, women's issues, and problematic substance use patterns.

My Background and Approach

With an integrative and holistic approach utilizing a person-centered lens and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration while emphasizing empathy and authenticity. My aim is to understand your unique perspective and experiences, and together, we will work towards achieving your self-defined goals while fostering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Through the therapy process, I emphasize the importance of empathy and humor as we work together. Whether you are looking for a non-judgmental therapeutic space to be heard or a structured environment to reach identified goals, I am eager to work with you and honored to be a part of your journey. My approach is informed by my background in Psychology and Gender Studies and my current graduate studies at Adler University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every individual is entitled to happiness and warmth in their lives. Connection and community are our pathway for healing and growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
