Introduction

My professional journey began early, and over the decades, I have had the privilege of accompanying individuals through some of the most challenging and transformative seasons of their lives. Across crisis work, community mental health, and private practice, one guiding principle has shaped my approach: meet each person exactly where they are. I bring a steady, grounded presence and an approach rooted in compassion, clarity, and deep respect for each person’s lived experience. My therapeutic style draws from Adlerian insight, DBT skill-building, somatic awareness and narrative meaning making, integrated through a person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally attuned framework. This allows me to meet clients who are navigating transitions, grief, identity shifts, stress, relational patterns, or the desire for deeper self-understanding with both flexibility and intention. Whether someone arrives overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply seeking a space to breathe and reconnect, my goal is the same: to offer a therapeutic relationship where they feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
