My therapy approach prioritizes the client-therapist relationship, which research shows to be the most important factor contributing to a client’s success! I use a mind-body therapy approach with sensitivity towards practices that prioritize women and people of color, which include somatic, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic based therapies. I believe that each person’s healing journey is unique and that a therapeutic modality or practice is meant to fit the person, not the other way around.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I served my community as a social worker in child welfare where I developed a strong understanding of the effects of child abuse on one’s overall well-being. I also provided care as a clinical therapist for non-profit community mental health where I facilitated therapy to help my clients gain coping skills, navigate difficult family dynamics, and heal from trauma.
