I have always been interested in working with others and cultivating relationships. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the nonprofit sector and always enjoyed the opportunity to engage with new people and get a glimpse into their world through storytelling and building connections. Before starting my private practice, I worked in schools and community mental health clinics where I was able to engage with clients with a diverse range of stressors and mental health concerns. I believe these experiences have deepened my clinical practice and my ability to provide healing and care for my current clients.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore parts of yourself that might be causing distress, sadness, or worry. It allows you the ability to process parts of your identity that you may be looking to change, it gives you the permission to express emotions that might not feel safe to release otherwise, and it fosters the ability to recognize patterns in behavior and relationships over time. In our work together, I will offer a space where we can be curious together. I will offer my own reflections and insights and — while I do not assign formal homework — I may ask you to notice patterns and thoughts in between sessions that we can continue to discuss moving forward.

I work through an intersectional lens and am always mindful of the ways that race, class, gender, and sexuality inform a person's unique lived experience. This is always at the forefront of my mind when engaging with clients, as I believe that individuals are shaped not only by their family system and upbringing but also by their social and cultural environments.
