My path as a therapist began long before I entered the therapy room. Throughout my career, I have been drawn to roles centered on supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families through life's challenges. Working in schools, youth mentoring programs, and community organizations gave me the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with individuals from diverse backgrounds. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career in therapy, where I could help people navigate life's difficulties with greater understanding and confidence.

As I transitioned into clinical work, I gained experience providing therapy and psychosocial support to both children and adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns. From helping children develop emotional awareness and healthy coping skills in school settings to supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and significant life stressors in higher levels of care, I developed an approach that balances empathy with practical, evidence-based interventions. These experiences reinforced my belief that healing looks different for everyone and begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and supported.

Today, I bring a collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and art therapy to help clients build resilience, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and navigate life's challenges. Whether I'm working with children, teens, adults, or families, my goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, express themselves authentically, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My work has allowed me to connect with individuals and families from many different cultural, educational, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I recognize that every person's story is shaped by their relationships, identity, culture, and lived experiences. I approach therapy with curiosity, humility, and compassion, honoring each client's unique perspective while creating an inclusive environment where they can feel respected, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
