I provide solution-focused, culturally sensitive therapy, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care, especially when facing the isolation of anxiety, depression, or life’s challenges. I take an intersectional approach to therapy, recognizing that the various aspects of our identity—culture, race, gender, and more—shape our experiences and well-being. Client’s may feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures, uncertain about their path, and in need of a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I don’t believe that one singular part of our identity defines us. Instead, I see my clients as whole individuals, and I work alongside them to uncover their strengths.

Burnout, stress, anxiety, trauma are real and if not addressed have far reaching consequences on your relationships, self esteem, energy levels and capacity to feel good in your own skin.
I help you get out of your mind… and into your body ;) Your body is where your memories/emotions are stored AND where healing longstanding stress patterns happens… so we might as well begin there. I specialize working with people who have complex trauma, grief, and anxiety/burnout. I have over 25 years of experience working in mental health and natural health. I offer a holistic approach (mind/body/spirit) to mental health and give you tools that work to help you shift your long seated patterns. I run my signature therapy group: Emotional Literacy to help you learn from your emotions, rather than being dominated by them.

Sometimes we are so caught up in the overwhelm that we can’t see the situation clearly, so I want to you help reduce the anxiety you are having about what’s going on and help you gain perspective.
People just like you come to me struggling with relationships - you are trying to get your message across but its just not working, whatever you try you just keep getting caught in the same argument.

I know being vulnerable is uncomfortable so I will give you the time you need to develop trust and feel comfortable with the therapy process.
