My Approach

I believe in truly seeing each person for who they are, understanding their unique story, and recognizing how personal challenges connect to broader social dynamics. By embracing this holistic perspective, we can address the root causes of struggles and foster deep, meaningful growth.

How I Understand My Work

Empowering you is at the heart of my work. I focus on your strengths and potential, encouraging you to take an active role in your healing journey. Together, we can build resilience and autonomy, all while honoring the courage it takes to seek help. I deeply respect and value each client, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering.

Social justice is a driving force in my practice. I’m committed to helping you explore how external factors—like societal norms and inequalities—impact your well-being. My goal is to create positive change, not just within our sessions but in the world around us, envisioning a future where everyone has the chance to live fully and freely.

Guided by core values of respect, service, and the power of human connection, I strive to ensure that every interaction is filled with integrity and care. I often collaborate with other professionals to offer well-rounded support, making sure we address your needs from every angle.

With a strong background in social work, I bring flexibility and compassion to our work together. I tailor each session to meet your evolving needs. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering personalized and effective care every step of the way.

Many people come to me seeking support for the complexities of identity and how societal issues impact their lives.

Whether it's about feeling misunderstood, navigating privilege, or simply finding your place in today’s world, it’s not uncommon to feel lost or overwhelmed.

Together, we can explore these feelings and find a way forward that feels true to you. Some common concerns include:

  • The worry of saying the wrong thing or being misunderstood in conversations with loved ones, colleagues, or even in casual social settings can be overwhelming. You might be afraid of offending someone unintentionally or not knowing how to express yourself clearly. Together, we’ll work on finding ways to communicate with confidence, understanding, and compassion in your day-to-day interactions.

  • You may feel like you're walking on eggshells during everyday conversations, afraid of conflict or saying something that might upset someone. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, or a family member, these tense moments can make communication feel exhausting. We’ll work on helping you feel more comfortable expressing yourself, finding the right balance between honesty and care in your interactions.

  • You may feel unsure about how to support those close to you—whether it's friends, family, or coworkers—without overstepping or making things more complicated. Whether you’re trying to help someone through a difficult time or navigating a personal relationship, we can talk about how to be supportive in a way that respects both your boundaries and theirs.

  • You might long for a sense of ease in your daily interactions, wanting less tension or stress when dealing with friends, family, or even strangers. Sometimes who we are or how we feel as individuals can make us uncomfortable. It’s normal to crave comfort and simplicity, especially when things feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Together, we can create strategies to bring more peace and balance into your everyday life.

  • The pressure to always be there for others or constantly keep up with the expectations of those around you can lead to feeling emotionally drained. Whether you're dealing with family stress, relationship challenges, or friendship dynamics, it can all become too much. It's okay to step back and focus on your well-being, and we can explore ways to maintain healthy relationships while also protecting your own emotional health.

  • Whether it's within your family, friend group, or workplace, it’s easy to feel disconnected when your experiences or perspectives don't align with those around you. You might feel like no one understands what you’re going through or that you're the only one grappling with certain emotions or beliefs. We can explore how to rebuild connection and create a sense of belonging in your daily life.

  • Conversations with friends, family, or coworkers about sensitive topics like privilege or unfair treatment can bring up uncomfortable emotions. You might feel guilty about something you’ve said or done, or ashamed for not fully understanding another person’s experience. These feelings are normal, and we can work through them together in a way that brings understanding and healing.
