Time to see yourself in a different light

Being a young adult comes with big transitions and pressure to “have it all figured out”—but it’s okay if you don’t. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next step, therapy can help you feel more grounded and in control. I work with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with emotion regulation. My approach is warm, collaborative, and paced to meet your needs. I draw from evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, IFS, Exposure Therapy, and Attachment theory to help you better understand yourself and build lasting skills.  Additionally, I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based approach for individuals impacted by trauma or living with PTSD. CPT helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts related to their trauma, reducing emotional distress such as guilt, shame, fear, and self-blame. My goal is to create a safe space where healing feels possible and progress feels personal. You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to support you in showing up more fully for yourself and your life

Welcome! My passion is helping children, adolescents, and adults flourish through uncovering their strengths, building resilience, and learning healthy ways to cope with various life stressors. I encourage my clients to be themselves, without any fear of judgement during our sessions together. I enjoy working with all ages and address depression, behavioral issues, life transitions, grief, and anxiety. 

Additionally, I am a former Early Childhood educator, perinatal parent-child attachment support, and human services provider with over 18 years of experience across different cultural settings. In my work with young children and teens I like to incorporate art expression, play therapy, trauma focused CBT, and sensory integration techniques for self-regulation and adaptation. When working with young children and adolescents my goal is to equip individuals with tools and skills they need to cope with adversity while also enhancing emotional strength and well-being.

If you're reading this, you may be going through a difficult time — or simply searching for a space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself. Either way, I'm glad you're here.
With a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties, I work with clients across the lifespan—from children to adults—helping individuals and families build resilience and healthy connections. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing is not just possible — it is an inherent right. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, all through a Trauma-Informed and Strength-Based lens. I also integrate Solution-Focused techniques and always strive to tailor our work to meet your unique goals and needs. At the heart of my practice is a person-centered philosophy: you are the expert of your life. My role is to walk beside you, helping you uncover the inner strengths and wisdom that may have been silenced by fear, hurt, or self-doubt. I believe, as Carl Rogers said, that “the good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” Our work together isn’t about fixing you — it’s about supporting you as you move toward the life you want to create. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where healing begins through validation, resilience is nurtured, and meaning is rediscovered. Together, we’ll explore patterns, beliefs, and past experiences with compassion and curiosity — and begin to reshape the narratives that no longer serve you. This is not about becoming someone else — it’s about reclaiming who you’ve always been. Together, we will move forward—one step, one meaningful conversation at a time.
