I have experience working with adolescents from a variety of cultural backgrounds. My approach to therapy is holistic incorporating Collaborative Problem Solving, CBT trauma-focused care, client centered therapy, and psychoeducation.

Your strengths, your skills, and your perspective on the world is unique. Whether you're neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, or celebrate your individuality another way, my goal is to help you live a valued and meaningful life on your terms. I work with young people and their families. I'm solution-focused, meaning I help you reconnect with your strengths and use them to build a better life in the here and now. I take a systemic approach, meaning I put your journey into the context of your family, friends, and wider community. I hold a PhD in psychiatry form the University of Cambridge, and draw on a toolkit which includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), and Strategic Family Therapy to create a program which is right for you.

I believe our mental health is important and that we could all benefit from having someone we can talk to. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for people to come and know that they can talk about anything and be heard, respected, and supported. I believe in working with my clients collaboratively where the client is the expert in their own lives, feelings, and experiences, and I can provide a new perspective and knowledge on mental health and well-being. My techniques tend to be focused on brain-based interventions like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with aspects of Person-Centered Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. I understand the neuroscience behind how our brains work, and how the working of our brains affects our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe in psychoeducation so that the client can learn and be empowered to make knowledgeable decisions and take action towards creating a healthier and happier self.

I work with children, families, and adults who are experiencing specific difficulties or who just need support as they go through different phases of life. I view therapy as a collaborative process. My role is to work with you to create a safe, authentic, non-judgmental environment where we can recognize and utilize your inherent strengths and abilities. Together we can identify goals, navigate barriers (systemic or otherwise) and develop a plan to create the changes you want to see. I employ a person-centered approach integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Collaborative Problem Solving. I enjoy love working with the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as neurodiverse folks.

I firmly believe that every individual deserves to be happy and healthy and live a fulfilling life. I think it is possible if they’re provided the appropriate resources, skills, and psychoeducation. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, empowered and supported in your growth and healing journey. My approach is to collaboratively explore solutions to ongoing patterns and challenges, learn to manage life’s challenges and navigate the world with your unique experience and identity. My approaches are grounded in Trauma-Informed Care, Relational, and Multicultural practices. I use a diverse range of modalities and techniques depending on the individual, but I gravitate towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Hello and thank you for considering allowing me the privilege to be a part of your journey with therapy. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling, while maintaining structure and individualization.

I have established expertise in working with survivors of domestic violence through working for social services that support survivors of family violence. I draw interventions from modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Client Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I also incorporate mindfulness practices in session. My goal as a counselor is to use my knowledge and resources, to be dedicated to social justice and provide to oppressed populations, maintaining cultural competence, and working in underrepresented communities. I work to ensure that you have a safe space to collaboratively explore your concerns and work towards your goals. I welcome people of all backgrounds into my office, and I work with a diverse group of clients.

I am passionate about supporting children, youth, families, and adults to lead healthy lives where their hopes and goals are honored and direct the therapeutic process. I believe in using a strength-based approach to meet goals and always consider the individual within their environment and their family system. I draw on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Practices, Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy to help my clients find stability on a path towards healing. I also love integrating play, expression, and art into the therapeutic session which can help young people open up to the therapeutic process in a way that feels accessible and safe. I enjoy helping young adults establish their own identities, support systems, and the skills necessary to manage their mental health and lead fulfilling lives. Wherever you are on your mental health journey, you should feel affirmed, encouraged, and supported.
