Therapy can feel scary and serious sometimes, but it doesn’t always have to be. By building a warm trusting relationship, we can approach treatment through a holistic lens, pulling from somatic, play and psychotherapy.
I am committed to working closely with clients to create a treatment plan that centers on their needs, while they work towards personal growth, wellness, and empowerment. Due to my strong background in nonprofit, community, and youth work, I am passionate about trauma-informed multicultural care for families and individuals looking for extra support in their lives.
Working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, those managing chronic illnesses, and those recovering from trauma, I utilize a person-centered approach to understand the client, their history, and current circumstances. I believe no two clients are exactly the same, and therefore sessions look unique to your individual needs.
