“Therapy, at its core, is a journey of self-discovery. It is an opportunity to lean into our strengths, process hard things, open ourselves up to new perspectives, and embrace the fullness of who we are.
I am here to partner with you in that journey. I will encourage you to practice the art of compassion for yourself, to speak your truth, to engage with challenges, and, of course, to be authentically you.
My therapeutic approach, which is rooted in relationship, centers and honors who you are, your strengths, your struggles, and your vision for your life. My role is to support your growth with tools, empathy, and empowerment.
I also understand that our identities are shaped not just by who we are as individuals, but by the systems and environments we move through. As an adoptee, person of color, and queer human, I draw on my lived experience, education, and professional background to honor your unique story, support your full humanity, and build a grounded, genuine connection in our work together.”
