Life can be really hard and oftentimes we need additional support. I love working with individuals through life's transitions and challenges. A belief and dedication to growth, resilience, and well-being, I prioritize trauma-informed care and social justice in my practice. I emphasize authenticity and genuine connections by integrating empathy, creativity, and humor into sessions using Gestalt Therapy. Whether guiding teens or adults through various life’s transitions or focusing on improving a client’s mental well-being, my approach remains culturally conscious and sensitive to individual experiences in the broader societal context
I am deeply passionate about working with clients who bring diverse challenges to therapy. Whether a client is grappling with anger, depression, anxiety, substance-related concerns, identity issues, grief/loss, LGBTQIA-specific topics, or relationship issues, I am here to collaboratively address and support my clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.
In our therapeutic sessions, I will utilize relational Gestalt techniques along with mindfulness to help you navigate towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. If you're in search of a therapist who collaboratively works with you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges you're facing, I invite you to reach out.
