Welcome! Your courage to work towards a better you is commendable. When starting out in therapy, our focus will be on developing a therapeutic relationship based on trust. I approach sessions with empathy and compassion in a nonjudgmental space where you may ask yourself, "What do I want from this experience?" I can support you through addressing current/past hurt and be present with you as emotions come up. I will be with you as you explore the internalized narratives that influence your functioning and wellbeing. I believe therapy should be an empowering process, in which your strengths are highlighted. I consider multicultural systems and identities in my framework for treating adolescent and adult clients within the contexts that matter most to them. I have specialized interests in serving college age/young adult clients (18-35); multiracial/multiethnic identifying clients; clients who identify as racial minorities; LGBTQIA+ identifying clients and women. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out! I'm happy to support you in deciding whether or not you'd like to move forward, and to answer any questions you may have about therapy.
