I help youth and families communicate better and enjoy time together more. If you are experiencing relationship difficulties or struggling with the effects of stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or grief, I would be honored to support you. I am especially passionate about counseling diverse families and people of all ages while they navigate life transitions, identity development, and learning or social-emotional concerns. As a former teacher with eight years of experience in public schools, I am also skilled at supporting students and parents as they work to meet their educational goals.I combine multicultural, existential, and DBT-informed therapies in my work. I believe that we are constantly developing as people, and we each have multiple identities that influence how we view the world. I help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their values and strengths so they can experience fuller, more meaningful lives.I believe in the therapeutic power of play, spending time in nature, and the expressive arts, including journaling, poetry, and painting, and I enjoy incorporating these techniques into my counseling practice. I would love to provide you with a place to explore and grow while you improve your relationship with yourself and those you care about most!
