• About Me

  Real growth happens with being uncomfortable, with pushing yourself, setting boundaries, and investing in your healing each day. I believe every person has the strength to overcome their struggles. My work is rooted in compassion, and I guide my clients through anxiety, depression, postpartum struggles, burnout, and relationship issues using a flexible and personalized approach. With a strong understanding of intergenerational trauma and personal healing, I walk alongside clients to help them grow and transform.

• Approach

  I use a client-centered, strength-based approach tailored to individual needs, including:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy

  • Faith-Based Integration

    I operate within a culturally sensitive, anti-oppression framework, and support clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
