About

I collaboratively help clients improve their self-esteem, self-worth, and being enough through validating and supporting my clients as experts of themselves and fostering compassionate relationships with themselves through boundaries, modifying core beliefs, challenging cognitive distortions, and engaging in self-care that prioritizes higher self. I've worked with adults and adolescents who have experienced anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, and low self-worth. Many of my clients have come to therapy due to academic and professional transitions, experiences in trauma throughout a lifetime, changes in family and relationship systems and dynamics, work and academic stress, and low self-esteem and self-worth due to differences in their family cultures and their brain’s unique chemical and structural makeup. I help clients engage in self-compassion and develop healthy boundaries during the experiences of processing and grieving their loss of self due to external and internal expectations. I have been so honored to witness and be present during my client's journeys if only to help unburden them from some of the heavy things that they have been carrying for some time. I strive to be both non-judgmental and accepting when someone feels safe enough to share their story or experiences with me. How we interact with ourselves and others, is so important and worthy, and is useful to explore in counseling.
