I am a mental health counselor committed to creating spaces where clients feel seen, heard, and understood, especially in communities where mental health has historically been stigmatized. I am passionate about addressing barriers to care and helping individuals and couples break generational cycles of silence, shame, and emotional suppression.
My work focuses on supporting teens, adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves or each other, guiding them toward greater emotional awareness, self-advocacy, and stronger, more intentional relationships in a world that often pulls us apart.
I have extensive experience working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals. I prioritize honoring sensory needs, communication differences, and executive functioning challenges without viewing identity as something to “fix.”
My approach is strength-based, affirming, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based practices such as CBT, psychoeducation, and practical skill-building to help clients build insight, regulate their emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop sustainable coping tools. In couples work, I focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, increasing emotional attunement, and helping partners better understand each other’s needs and patterns.
I integrate creativity and expressive techniques into sessions when appropriate. As an artist myself, I value the role of creative expression in healing and often incorporate art-based interventions to help clients process emotions in ways that feel accessible and authentic.
Therapy with me is about understanding yourself more deeply, strengthening your relationships, and building the structure and support needed to thrive.
