What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood. Therapy with me is collaborative — we work together to identify your goals, strengths, and the approaches that fit you best. You can expect empathy, cultural sensitivity, and practical tools that you can apply in daily life. I integrate DBT skills for anxiety and emotional regulation, Brainspotting for trauma and grief processing, and solution-focused and other systemic strategies to help you make meaningful progress. I offer individual therapy only for young adults and adults, with regular check-ins to track progress, adjust goals, and support your growth and empowerment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with an intake session to explore your concerns — such as anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, or life transitions — and clarify your goals. This helps build trust and creates a personalized treatment plan. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include: Brainspotting to process trauma and grief DBT skills to improve emotional regulation and reduce anxiety Solution-focused tools to build insight, motivation, and positive change Systemic therapies relationship and attachment issues We continuously track progress, adjust strategies, and celebrate growth. Many clients report feeling more emotionally balanced, empowered, and resilient early in the process. As an LMFT, I also consider relationship patterns and attachment dynamics as part of your healing journey.
