I believe in the innate capabilities of my clients; through positive and negative life experiences, we develop awareness and resiliency that can at times be challenging to tap into. During the process of therapy, I support clients in finding those strengths to cope with obstacles as well as re-creating a life that better represents their true selves. The therapeutic relationship is based on trust, collaboration, and skill-building towards self-actualization and away from stagnant and negative cycles of dysfunction.

My professional development is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches; I partner with clients to help them tap into their undiscovered strengths, draw out generational resiliency, and develop their unique interests towards healthy individuation from societal and familial pressures. I help clients examine their belief systems to support re-imagining and creating beliefs and coping strategies better suited to the challenges they are experiencing. I approach the therapeutic relationship with authentic compassion and an unconditional lens to help clients find their voice, tell their story and define personal goals. I believe a client is a once whole person that has been fragmented into hurt parts. I see my role as one of partnership in bringing the client back to their truer being of wholeness and wellness. I rely on clinical and personal experience in my practice, utilizing humor and creativity to tailor my approach to each person and meet clients where they are at. My experience both personally and professionally has led to a keen understanding of people impacted by societal challenges, intra-psychic schisms, and generational cycles of conflict and dysfunction. I always use a holistic approach to understand their lived experience and support them as they navigate systemic oppression, generational trauma, and formative relationships.
