In our sessions, we may use ACT to clarify your values and take steps toward them, CBT to challenge and shift unhelpful thought patterns, DBT to enhance emotional regulation, and motivational interviewing to help amplify your voice in creating meaningful change. Whether you’re healing from trauma, working through relationship difficulties, or exploring your identity, my approach is grounded in empathy and respect for your unique journey. If you’re ready to build greater resilience, connection, and self-acceptance, I’d be honored to support you through that process. Reach out today to begin.
My Clients
Trauma, strained relationships, and identity struggles can leave lasting marks, influencing how you see yourself, connect with others, and navigate the world. I earned my MA in Clinical Counseling from Palo Alto University in 2021 and became a licensed marriage and family therapist with the belief that therapy is one of the most profound acts of self-care a person can choose. My interest in psychology and human behavior has always been paired with a strong desire to help others, and it’s both inspiring and humbling to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and rediscover parts of themselves they once thought were lost.
