​

Beginning the process of self-discovery can be daunting, but the good news is that you don't have to do it alone. My mission is to create a safe space where you can explore and discuss your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors  without judgment. The goal of our sessions will be to empower you to navigate and integrate your lived experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. My approach is warm, empathetic, and trauma informed, grounded in the belief that YOU are the expert of your life. Because of this, I will meet you where you are and allow you to explore and process at your own pace. 

 

My therapeutic style strives to blend psychodynamic therapy with relational, feminist, narrative, and insight-oriented therapies. This means that we'll work together to explore the root causes of any issues you're experiencing while recognizing the ways in which systemic oppression and the social and cultural context in which you live may shape your experiences.
