I offer a compassionate and inclusive space to explore your challenges, deepen self-awareness, and uncover pathways to growth and fulfillment.

Approach

Whether you are struggling with a diagnosed mental illness or are overwhelmed by the complexities of the human experience, therapy can prove to be the greatest investment to make in yourself. Deepening your awareness of how your individual psychological makeup supports and/or holds you back can illuminate paths toward thriving at home, work and socially. I believe that genuine growth and evolution stem from a strong secure partnership. Together, we will delve into what challenges you and discover new opportunities for growth in your life.

As a therapist trained in psychodynamic, somatic and IFS/parts work, I carefully adapt my clinical methods to meet my client/'s where they are.

I provide therapy for adults individuals and couples across all backgrounds and relational preferences.

Background

With a multicultural background, I bring an open-minded and inclusive approach to therapy. I place great value in my clients' cultural backgrounds, psychological needs, and the impact of their individual experiences.

Having discovered a passion for psychology and unconscious processes in college, I’m constantly pursuing learning opportunities to further deepen my knowledge and skills.

In my early career, I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital where I developed a deep appreciation and awareness for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Subsequent work at low-income community programs reinforced a sensitivity to the systemic challenges faced by marginalized groups. Later experiences at a substance abuse treatment program offered valuable insights into the underlying traumas and unique needs of individuals grappling with addiction.

Drawing from this diverse background, I’ve integrated these experiences into my private practice; tailoring my approach to best serve the individual needs of my clients.
