About My Clients

I work with children, teens, and emerging adults facing challenges like self-esteem, motivation, confidence, stress, and life transitions. I’m dedicated to helping them recognize their worth and explore their identities. Through a supportive environment, I empower them to understand their capabilities, develop strategies to overcome obstacles, and realize their potential for a more fulfilling life.

My Background and Approach

Working with me as your therapist means having a dependable partner dedicated to building your confidence and providing a safe, comfortable space for you to share your thoughts. I create a nurturing environment where you can openly explore your feelings. With my background in education, I bring a unique perspective that allows me to tailor strategies to your learning and growth style. As your guide, I support you in becoming the expert of your own story. Together, we’ll navigate your challenges, uncover your strengths, and develop strategies for you to thrive. My empathetic and empowering approach fosters growth and helps you achieve a more fulfilling, confident life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My personal beliefs are deeply rooted in a passion for social justice. I firmly believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual and am dedicated to advocating for equality, fairness, and inclusion in all areas of life. This commitment to social justice shapes my approach as a therapist, where I create a supportive and empowering environment for all clients, regardless of their background or circumstances. Beyond therapy, I am also passionate about education, viewing access to quality education as a fundamental right. I am committed to challenging systemic injustices and biases, helping my clients navigate and overcome these barriers. Through my work in both therapy and education, I strive to contribute to a more just and compassionate society.
