My focus I work with youth-including children and adolescents-as well as young to older adults from diverse backgrounds. I have experience treating clients in clinical/private, community, school, inpatient, and remote settings, mainly through individual counseling. My focus areas include emotional and mood regulation, family and interpersonal conflicts, trauma, stress reduction, anger management, major life transitions, identity development, self-esteem, and academic or career-related concerns. My communication style I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe, seen, and supported with unconditional positive regard.

I enjoy learning about the psyche and equipping individuals facing mental health challenges and life stressors with tools to manage their experiences and live fulfilling lives.
