Finding the right therapist can be challenging, and I strive to make that process feel a little easier by offering a safe, nonjudgmental space where each person feels genuinely heard and supported. I’m passionate about walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater emotional well-being – a core part of living a connected and fulfilling life.
Through my practicum and internship experience at Northwestern University, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals managing concerns related to anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in a person-centered foundation, meeting each client with empathy and respect for their unique identity, background, and strengths. As a person of color and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I also bring a personal understanding of how identity, culture, and lived experiences can shape the way we navigate the world and seek support.
I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), within a psychodynamic framework to explore both present patterns and deeper experiences. My goal is to create a collaborative and affirming environment where clients feel empowered in their healing. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m honored to support you.
Every person deserves a space where they can show up exactly as they are. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and confident as we work together toward the life you want to build.
