Navigating the changes and transitions in childhood and adolescence can be scary. From physical changes to having different feelings about ourselves and others, this period of time is pivotal in our development and can be confusing to figure out alone. Without guidance and support, we can feel lost. I believe that with the right tools and support, anyone can begin their journey towards an improved quality of life. The goal is to find a safe environment where you can share your emotions and feel heard. My hope is to create a collaborative and culturally informed practice by valuing you as the expert in your own life. I also follow the perspective that the mind and the body are connected, therefore all the changes we make have an impact in our physical health and vice versa.

“I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives. It is my privilege to support individuals on this otherwise daunting task. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on compassion and empathy, we can embark on this journey towards healing.
I strive to create a collaborative relationship with my clients and emphasize authenticity in my practice. I believe in exploring contextual factors to determine sources of psychological distress, such as factors within an individual’s environment and broader society. I believe in exploring a person’s strengths to help them develop skills that can be applied to areas of life where they are struggling.”

“I have found that most people are much more courageous and resilient than they give themselves credit for. As such, in both my assessment and therapy work, I focus on an individual’s strengths to help them develop skills and find resources for tackling whatever they are struggling with.”
