My approach is holistic and culturally attuned, blending evidence -based therapy with deep empathy and understanding of each partners lived experience. Together, we will work towards healing with real coping tools that you can use.
I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.
I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
As a therapist, I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and full of hope. I believe that everyone has the ability to create change in their life — sometimes we just need the right tools and someone to walk beside us. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with confidence and self-compassion
Allow me to introduce myself! I'm a queer identifying systems therapist who's passionate and committed to fostering positive change through a holistic path to well-being. I specialize in an attachment based approach centered around Emotionally Focused Therapy. LGBTQIA issues/identity exploration, communication concerns, non-monogamous relational issues, ADHD/neurodiversity topics and anxiety/stress management are all areas that I regularly help clients navigate.
