Approach to Therapy

I specialize in providing therapeutic support to teens, adults and women and girls as they navigate life’s most pressing issues. Guided by a culturally responsive and systems-oriented approach, I honor the unique identities and experiences of each client. My practice integrates a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including grief therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), crisis intervention, psychoeducation, and group facilitation, allowing me to tailor my approach to your specific needs.

Specialty: Trauma & Identity-Focused Healing

I know what it means to carry pain that didn’t start with you. I see your wounds shaped by racism, colonization, patriarchy, and silence. This kind of trauma lives in the body, in memory, in the stories our ancestors couldn’t tell. You’ve survived what the world refuses to name, learned to protect yourself in systems that demand your strength but deny your truth. Maybe you've been told to be quiet, to be grateful, to not make it harder. I can see that, inside, you're just trying to hold on to yourself. I see the complexity of your survival and the brilliance of your resilience. I’m here to walk beside you, as you reclaim every part of yourself that the world tried to diminish. Your healing is real. Your truth is enough.

Specialty: Relational and Developmental Support

Maybe you're tired of feeling like your mind is a maze. The racing thoughts, the emotional static, the patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. You catch yourself wondering, Who am I underneath all of this? Who could I be if I wasn’t struggling so much? Whether it’s the mental fog of ADHD, the quiet heaviness of grief, or the pain of relationships that leave you confused or alone, you just want to make sense of yourself. You want a little more peace, a little more space to breathe. Maybe you fear that you’re too much or not enough. You may worry that, if you finally say it all out loud - what hurts, what’s missing, what still lingers - it won’t matter. Maybe you worry that, even with therapy, you’ll still feel lost. In midst of all of that worry, there’s hope. Hope that something could shift. That you could feel seen without having to shrink. That you could finally find rest in your own mind, and feel at home in your own skin.
