Whether this is your first time considering therapy, or you've been here before, I invite you to take a chance and make a positive change in your life. All deserve to be treated with dignity and respect while opening up to someone new. My practice approach is centered on creating a space where you can be vulnerable without judgment, unsure while being supported, and develop skills to make life more vibrant. Central to my work is a passion for working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and lived experiences. I specialize in taking a contextual approach to working with individuals experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, and a combination of complex factors including trauma. Working within this context, I cultivate relationships that are client-centered and focus on an individual's strengths to build awareness and a path for personal growth. I view the therapeutic relationship as an absolute privilege as it allows a private space for vulnerability and healing.
