“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

No two lives are the same. We have both the privilege and the challenge of making our way through life, which is not often an easy task. I seek to engage with each and every client in ways that respect their individuality and that allow them to be their authentic selves in a supportive environment. The choice to seek help in the face of struggle is sometimes daunting but my aim is to meet individuals where they are and show them that they are not alone in facing the things that led them here. I consistently seek to build a strong and effective therapeutic alliance in order to provide the best possible mental health support.

As a therapist, I have the opportunity to work with people as they grow, evolve, and learn. Through honest introspection, therapeutic reflection, and a personalized approach, I work with individuals to help them achieve self-actualization and increase their ability to reach their goals. I believe that therapy is a partnership and the client has allowed me to be a part of their journey in the hopes that I may be able to assist them. This is my honor and I welcome the opportunity.

During my work, I utilize a range of different techniques and modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems Theory. Over the course of my career I have had the privilege to work with a vast array of individuals from all walks of life including adults, seniors, sex workers, immigrants, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and BIPOC. While engaging with clients, I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to foster an encouraging and safe atmosphere. I have experience in treating a spectrum of mental health symptoms and diagnoses including but not limited to anxiety, depression, paranoia, substance addiction, self-harm, eating disorders, OCD, and PTSD.

Choosing therapy is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Our mental health is a pillar of our lives and tending to it is essential in maintaining a sustainable, healthy existence. This choice is one to be proud of and I extend my hand to you as a partner in moving forward with renewed hope.
