Description

I operate within a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to assist individuals facing diverse challenges.

My objective is to empower individuals to heal from past traumas, evolve into their desired selves, and flourish in both personal and relational spheres.

Together, we'll create a safe environment where you can express yourself freely and delve into your narrative with compassion and curiosity.
