  • My Approach

    Through an integrative approach, I draw on several modalities at different points in the therapeutic process. My main drivers include Emotion-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. That said, I am not limited to these approaches and continue to expand my toolkit to best meet each client’s needs.

  • My Philosophy

    What is learned can be unlearned. As the author of your own story, you hold the power to create change from within. I take a client-centered approach that is mindful of life’s interconnected nature and invite the historical context to explore how we arrived here, how we can grow today, and how we can shape tomorrow.

  • My Why

    My ‘why’ began to take shape during the final term of my undergraduate studies, when I realized my gifts as a helper—listening deeply and offering meaningful perspectives. This was affirmed by my peers, who often sought me out to share, ask for guidance, or find support.

I write poetry
I am a huge dreamer
I have a passion for cars
I enjoy embroidering
Trying to be a video creator on the side
