I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy; whether working through challenging situations, participating in self discovery, or needing a non-judgemental space to express yourself. My approach is collaborative and client-driven, emphasizing multiculturalism and inclusivity. I utilize a combination of  approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Relational Cultural Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy. My goal in working with you would be to further connections, encourage acceptance, and provide support and validation so that you can function healthily and happily, both in and out of therapy.

 

I am passionate about supporting those in marginalized communities while examining systemic oppression that impacts one’s health. As a therapist, I hope to empower each individual to live authentically and powerfully as themselves.
