I practice with the intention of providing culturally sensitive and trauma informed services to support clients' mental well-being. My clients' common concerns include trauma, sexual well-being, depression, anxiety, adjustment to college, academic performance, relationships, and identity exploration. Many are interested in understanding the history of their presenting concern(s), how past experiences impact them currently, and what changes they can make to alleviate their concerns. During sessions, clients and I process their experiences and utilize their feedback to adjust interventions to ensure treatment aligns with their goals.

Through compassionate therapy tailored to your needs, I can help you heal wounds around self-worth, build self-trust and set boundaries. Take the first step towards creating a fulfilling, empowered life.

Something in your life has become enough of a problem that you are seeking help. When things don't turn out the way you imagined, or you find yourself repeating the same patterns that keep you working against yourself, it is only natural to feel anxious, depressed, and/or overwhelmed. You might feel blindsided by a big life transition, paralyzed by shame or fear, or as if you are constantly fighting an uphill battle. Whatever the issue, you are capable of making change, and I am here to help.

Sometimes we need help managing anxiety, depression, stressors of life, relationship struggles, self-esteem, trauma, loss, or alcohol use. It's more than okay to ask for help. Are you hoping to learn how to manage your anxiety or depression? Do you need help navigating relationships? Are you hard on yourself and struggling with self-love? Do you ever wonder how past hurts are affecting your current life? Do you need a safe space to process your life apart from friends and family? As a therapist, I enjoy helping people find the tools to improve their mental health and help them find happiness in their day-to-day lives.

People struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, rigid thinking and behaviors, and shame have found me a good fit. I work well with people who have past trauma, relational trauma, and unresolved emotional or relational wounds. I also work well with people who might have been in therapy before and are looking to get to a deeper level of self-understanding, and with other therapists and helping professionals. My practice accommodates people who find themselves wanting or needing more than once a week sessions. I enjoy working with couples looking to better understand themselves, each other, and their dynamics.

Hi! Thank you for reading my bio. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist that is certified in treating trauma and ADHD using different modalities including EMDR. I also provide treatment for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), anxiety, anger, depression, and marital/premarital counseling. It is through life experiences that we can gain wisdom. The key is managing the negative experiences in a healthy way, while maintaining peace and faith throughout life’s difficult situations. My approach begins at the root cause of the symptom- working backwards which leads to healing through self-compassion.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Working from a multicultural perspective that employs a Person-centered approach, I am able to gain a holistic perspective of you. Throughout your therapy, we will collaborate as we tend to your inner life; both the light and shadow. I will listen to you closely with care and curiosity, and without judgment. I align closely with Jungian theory and primarily use Psychodynamic Therapy. By helping you find and recognize patterns in your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs, you can gain insight into yourself. I find this approach fosters individuation and integration, allowing for wholeness and becoming the highest version of yourself.
