Success in therapy isn't about problems going away. Life is full of ups and downs. Problems will always arise. Progress is not the absence of struggles but how we cope with challenges. Clients will know they're making progress when they start having healthy outlooks while managing problems.

I love to incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques into my therapeutic approach. I provide my clients with a down-to-earth and direct yet gentle approach. I invest in each individual/couple/family to create an environment of safety and comfort, tailoring my approach to individual needs.

Celebrating diversity has always been a passion of mine. In my work, I highlight how oppression and colonialism impact the person and problem. Facing my fair share of discrimination, racism, and oppression I know just how damaging they can be to your mental health.

I've spent six years working for several agencies focused on homelessness and low-income individuals/families. As a result, my approach to therapy focuses on empowering my clients. I've spent a lot of time working with women in many different stages of life (adolescents, young adults, middle age, elderly, pregnancy, post-pregnancy, etc.) I work on uplifting my female clients while highlighting the unique issues being a woman can pose. I utilize a feministic framework in my approach to working with women. I've worked with a wide range of ethnicities and cultures. I use a cultural framework to highlight how oppression impacts the problem and how to cope with the effects. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. I'm a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community. I work with couples on identifying deeply entrenched patterns in the relationship, breaking unhealthy sequences, and creating new healthy cycles.
