My practice is culturally informed and addresses the impact of society and culture on clients' lives based on their gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, ability, and religion.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee at the Center for Mental Health Excellence (CFMHE), I am deeply committed to empowering and supporting individuals, couples, and families as they build authentic and meaningful lives of deep connection and community. I specialize in working with depression, grief, and anxiety. I also work on women's issues, men's issues, relationship issues, stress, gender roles/identities, and sex/ sexuality. As someone who has navigated anxiety, chronic stress, grief, and a career change, I know that human connection and giving voice to our experiences are paramount to well-being and growth.

I specialize in providing Gender Affirming Care and Sex Therapy and I have extensive training working on issues pertaining to intimacy and alternative lifestyles.
Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back. Sometimes it's our own beliefs about ourselves or the limiting beliefs we hold about our true potential that are our greatest barriers. Therapy can help uncover these barriers and help you learn skills and techniques to work more collaboratively with yourself and life so that you feel you're more truly living as opposed to just surviving.
