My Approach to Helping

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to you. I believe that healing happens in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. Using an integrative approach, I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, Gestalt, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create a plan that fits your unique needs. Whether you need help managing anxiety, processing trauma, exploring identity, or building self-esteem, I’ll meet you where you are with warmth and understanding. I focus on helping you uncover patterns, develop self-awareness, and build practical coping skills so you can navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity. I work at your pace, offering both gentle guidance and empowering challenges to help you grow. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, your emotions, and your values, so you can move forward with greater self-compassion and resilience. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to help.

My Values as a Therapist

As a therapist, my work is guided by values of compassion, affirmation, and empowerment. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. I honor your unique lived experience, recognizing the impact of trauma, oppression, and identity on mental health. My approach is client-centered, using CBT, DBT, ACT, and Gestalt to help you find practical tools while building self-awareness. Therapy is not about fixing; it’s about empowering you to heal and grow at your own pace. I focus on helping you trust yourself, develop resilience, and move forward with hope and self-compassion. You deserve support, and I’m here to walk beside you, guiding you toward a fulfilling, authentic life.
