My Approach
I'm glad you're here! Starting therapy takes a lot of vulnerability, and finding the right fit is vital. I take a collaborative, genuine, and client-centered approach to encourage your autonomy and help you feel empowered in therapy. I draw from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and attachment-based therapy to help clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and culturally responsive space where clients of all identities and backgrounds feel seen, respected, and supported.
