My Education & Training

​I come to this field with complex life experiences and as a multicultural and neurodivergent person. This drives my passion for creating an affirming space for individuals. I primarily work with adults. I work with clients from all walks of life, but I am especially passionate about empowering clients with complex identities who often fall between the cracks in the counseling world. 

​

My goal is to help clients discover ways to heal and overcome difficulties so they can live more meaningful and authentic lives. My core approach is Humanistic, but don't believe in a one-size-fits all method. I draw on counseling theory based on client needs. This may include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Jungian Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Multicultural Counseling, and Holistic frameworks to honor the mind-body connection toward wellness. I also have training in hypnotherapy and EFT tapping.

​

I value diversity and have a deep apprecation for creative expression. My style is direct, conversational, and collaborative. I have a sense of humor, bring a heavy dose of compassion, but will also challenge you in ways that support your counseling goals.
