I believe that therapy is a partnership, a collaboration between counselor and client to reach your goals. Those goals may be concrete, like learning coping skills to treat depression symptoms, or abstract, like figuring out who you are and who you want to be. Therapy is not one size-fits all, therefore I’m committed to tailoring my therapy to my clients’ needs using solution-focused, trauma-informed, and multiculturally competent approaches. If you’ve had therapy in the past and left thinking “but all I did was talk, what should I actually do about any of this?” I might be the right therapist for you.
I offer individual therapy to clients aged 13-65, with a focus on adolescents and young adults, as well as couples counseling. I have a background in both private practice and community mental health, so I am familiar with supporting clients with a variety of needs and experiences. I know how much our identity and cultural upbringing can affect our mental health and our understanding of social roles- I strive to make space for all identities and backgrounds in my therapy room in order to create a safe, welcoming space where we can have difficult conversations about how who we are affects what we do, and vice versa.
