I (she/her) am committed to offering unconditional positive regard to everyone who enters my shared therapeutic space. It is my deepest privilege to hold this space for others. I believe that each person is the expert of their own experience, and it is my responsibility to listen with empathy, understanding, and respect as we navigate the challenges they bring.

It is important for me to approach therapy through multicultural and anti-oppressive lenses, rooted in person-centered and compassion-focused theories. This means I focus on recognizing and honoring the intersecting identities my clients hold, while also considering how societal systems impact their well-being, access to resources, and opportunities. As a white, cisgender woman, I am aware of the pervasive nature of oppressive and White Supremacist systems, and I acknowledge my responsibility to understand and confront these systems, as well as the privilege I hold within them.

As a counselor, I strive to empower my clients by highlighting their strengths and supporting their personal growth through providing a warm and safe space for sharing their most vulnerable thoughts and feelings. When it comes to diagnosis and treatment planning, I prioritize collaboration, ensuring that clients' voices are central to the process. I approach these conversations with a deep awareness of the stigma often attached to diagnoses, and I work alongside clients to establish meaningful and  individualized goals for their journey.
