My Approach to Therapy

I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, mood disorders, and personality disorders, including Bipolar and Borderline (BPD). I'm dedicated to providing inclusive, identity-affirming care for LGBTQ+ and POC communities and offer a supportive space to heal, grow, and move forward. My therapeutic approach is integrative, strength-based, and trauma-focused. This means I blend evidence-based treatments to fit what you need in the moment, balancing insight to understand your past with action to support your present. First, we will work together to uncover the root causes of what you’re going through and understand the patterns holding you back. Over time, we’ll focus on developing practical, everyday strategies that bring steady stability back into your routine and help you feel genuinely grounded.
