I am passionate about being an advocate for my clients and am dedicated to providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care. My holistic approach to counseling considers the importance of surrounding systems, adversity, and stigma clients may face and how this impacts therapy. I practice from several therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relational-cultural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and feminist theory.
My goal is to create an atmosphere that promotes acceptance and self-awareness. Through vulnerability, collaboration, and growth-fostering relationships, I believe anyone can be empowered to make positive change.
