As an integrative therapist, I am on a mission to bridge the gap between emotional, mental, and physical well-being. My journey in the field of therapy has been driven by a profound understanding of how our emotional experiences intricately intertwine with our bodies, shaping our overall health and vitality. I firmly believe that healing is holistic, encompassing not only the mind and heart but also the physical vessel that carries our stories and struggles. With a focus on adolescents, young adults, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, I am dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive space for exploration, growth, and healing. My approach is grounded in a fusion of therapeutic modalities, blending strength-based techniques with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy.
Central to my practice is a commitment to gender-affirming and anti-racist principles, recognizing the profound impact of societal structures on individual well-being. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that honors each person’s unique identity and lived experiences while fostering resilience and empowerment. Compassionate and patient, I walk alongside my clients on their journey toward self-discovery and healing, embracing their strengths and challenges with empathy and authenticity. My therapeutic style is marked by openness, humor, and genuine connection, creating a nurturing space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Outside of my professional role, I am deeply passionate about promoting mental health awareness and advocacy, advocating for equitable access to quality care for all individuals. Whether through my clinical work, community outreach, or ongoing learning and development, I am committed to fostering healing and growth in both individuals and society as a whole. In every interaction, I strive to embody kindness, compassion, and resilience, believing wholeheartedly in the transformative power of human connection and the courage it takes to embark on the journey of healing. It is an honor and privilege to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges and discover the strength and resilience within themselves. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I invite you to take the first step toward healing together.
