At some point or another, we are all in a position where we need support navigating tough issues, complicated feelings, and life circumstances. My goal in therapy is to create an environment where you feel comfortable discussing and exploring your experiences, and the emotions attached to them. I am here to listen, provide non-judgmental support, and work with you to heal and thrive.

If you don't know yourself how are you going to know what is your reflection and what is a projection of yourself? Life is full of mirrors and until you can wholeheartedly love yourself and know yourself, it will be hard to decipher what's your true reflection and what is a projection from others. Although the journey of self-rediscovery can be one of the most empowering ventures to embark on, it can also, at times, be incredibly overwhelming and gut wrenching. Yet, it is in those moments that therapy supports you in nurturing yourself enough to be reborn, be reaffirmed, and to reclaim your sense of self!

Life can feel so overwhelming, with endless things to do, deadlines and decisions to make. It's hard to know what to do with all the emotions swirling around in our brains. With everything going on in our lives, and the world right now, it's even more important to develop coping skills and have an appropriate outlet to process experiences and "empty out" our heads, sort through the jumble of thoughts, and make sense of it all. We tend to view our troubling thoughts as embarrassing and scary, and talking through them makes them much more manageable.

Our lives can change in the blink of an eye. The feelings that go along with these transitions can be overwhelming and unpredictable. Daily life is both the same and different. It can be difficult figuring out how to cope with these changes. What’s more, sharing your experiences and the range of emotions you may feel can be a daunting task.

Hi! How we view and tell our stories makes up how we live our lives, and I am here to honor your story. My foundational work with sexual trauma and interpersonal violence showed me that warmth and authenticity are two critical elements that I will prioritize in our therapeutic space, and through that, we can explore anything you feel comfortable bringing. We will discuss your identities and how they intersect and influence your narrative.

I believe the cornerstone of creating change is a strong therapeutic alliance..an affirmative working relationship between client and therapist. Our past is a part of our current functioning, in that behaviors and attitudes that once helped us survive can sometimes become outdated and problematic. Therapy is one way to help people "revise" their survival tools and live a more enriching and fulfilling life.

You've always been the strong and supportive friend. You always show up when others are in need, and you always offer your support. But after years of giving and giving, you're feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and disconnected. Now, you are certain that you cannot keep this up forever. You’ve thought about starting therapy, but it is so hard to find a therapist who understands the things that you have been through. Trauma's impact can be deep, especially when compounded by racial and cultural experiences. You need a therapist who understands you as a trauma survivor, can help you heal, and live the life you deserve.

I am passionate about helping trauma survivors heal through psychotherapy, and helping to educate the community about trauma informed care.

I work from a relational and insight oriented approach. I believe that we were all created for connection and that our woundedness often gets in the way of this connectedness, whether it be to God or to others. Deep, intensive, soul counseling can help heal this woundedness so that connections are more honest, genuine, and whole. It should also leave you with a deeper sense of self and identity, so that you can interact in healthy ways with the world around you.
