Nice to meet you
My roots in clinical work stem from community social justice efforts focused on gender-based and interpersonal violence. This deepened my understanding of how mental health symptoms are shaped by complex interpersonal and societal issues. I believe every person has a reservoir of strength within them. I offer a compassionate, supportive, and safe space for people to connect with their inner strengths and develop new coping strategies for life’s challenges and transitions.
