Approach:
I take a multimodal approach utilizing a number of evidence based treatment methods to meet clients where they are at and help them overcome all of life's challenges
“Not all those who wander are lost.”
Who I help:
I work with teens (13+) and adults, helping them process, understand, and heal from life's toughest experiences. I find joy in meeting clients where they are and, as an ally and supporter, assisting them
in identifying practical solutions to the issues that bring them into therapy. Whether you're going through significant life changes, facing work-related challenges or performance issues, dealing with health concerns that impact your daily life, experiencing relationship difficulties, encountering acculturation challenges, or simply feeling a certain way without knowing why or how to explain it, let's work together to find a way through them.
What my clients say about working with me:
Former clients have shared that they felt a quick, therapeutic connection with me and have felt seen, heard, and understood through the process. They have highlighted my ability to listen without judgment and have spoken highly of my balanced approach in providing empathy, psycho-education, and helpful interventions to address a range of presenting concerns.
