About
Beginning your therapy journey is a powerful act of self-love and courage. It is an impactful moment to acknowledge that you’re ready to live in alignment with your most authentic self. I’m here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow—where your voice is heard, your story matters, and your truth is honored.
My therapeutic style takes on a person-centered approach in a collaborative setting where curiosity, self-compassion, humor, and self-reflection hold space. I cultivate an environment that encourages curiosity over judgment and self-compassion over shame. You are the author and expert of your story and hold the knowledge that will lead to the life you want. It’s a privilege to be trusted with your story as you navigate life and step into vulnerability.
Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, and Somatic Awareness, I work with adult individuals experiencing anxiety, life transitions, grief, and academic or career stressors. Whether you’re seeking clarity, coping tools, or deeper self-understanding, our sessions are designed to empower you.
