I’m passionate about making therapy accessible & breaking the stigma of seeking help, especially with clients of color. My approach centers on building an empathic connection & meeting you where you are. Healing starts from within, which allows clients to build a strong foundation of self-care in their sessions. My clients learn useful coping skills as they work toward their goals. Clients often see increased self-awareness, resilience, & a deeper connection to their true potential. With compassion & care, I create a space where you can go from surviving to thriving! Book with me now by clicking on my website :)

Aug-12/24 No appointments available. Do you struggle between doing it all while also feeling like, "Why do I bother?" Life can be overwhelming. When you've been in "go mode" forever it's difficult to find time to even think about what you might want from your life. I have a deep understanding of the unique struggles faced by ambitious perfectionists. The constant pursuit of excellence can lead to burnout and strain on personal relationships. If you find it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance and want to learn to manage the chaos in your life to feel more fulfilled and have more time for what makes you happy, call me.

I have had the honor of working with individuals across the lifespan with a variety of mental health concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, sexual and gender-identity related issues, family dynamics, and more. I believe that human beings are inherently relational and that we are born to thrive in connection to others and wouldn’t be who we are if not for the people that have come in, and sometimes out, of our lives. Examining these relationships can be a huge part of therapy, whether it’s with our parents, our partners, or with ourselves.

The first thing we work on, no matter your reason for coming to therapy, is establishing a trusting relationship where you feel comfortable and safe. We will work together on coping skills you can use in your day-to-day to better manage any symptoms that arise. My ultimate goal in therapy is to improve your quality of life. This means when something works we'll talk about why it worked and how you can continue to do what works. And when things do not work out, we'll talk about reasons why that might have happened and what we can do differently next time.

Sometimes our best life can feel out of reach. A part of us feels stuck in cognitive or relational patterns that served us at one time, but do not serve us well anymore. We want to make some changes, but we find ourselves stuck. Poet Mary Oliver asked the question, "What will you do with this one wild and precious life?" I'm here to listen as you figure out how you want to answer this question, and to witness the work you need to do to get there. Our best selves, living our best lives, are within reach.

If you are dealing with persistent anxiety, depression, disordered eating or body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, or conflict in your relationships, then you know what it means to struggle with your mental health. It's heavy, pervasive in its impact on your quality of life, and it can be difficult to navigate alone. Or maybe you're not alone, but the people around you don't seem to understand or know how to help? I believe these experiences in my own life shaped my understanding and ability to extend empathy and compassion to others dealing with similar issues. Having someone else to walk through it with you can be so helpful!

You have learned early on that you had to keep it together. You are used to being the strong one, putting on a brave face, and pushing your emotions aside so you won't be seen as someone who can't handle it. Often, you find yourself prioritizing others' needs over your own, and it's been quite a while since you truly prioritized self-care. You find yourself in a state of constant exhaustion, both physically and emotionally. The weight of the world seems to rest heavily on your shoulders. Deep down, there's a part of you that yearns to rediscover yourself, to speak your truth, and to break free from self-doubt.

Sitting with oneself, whether in individual, couple or family therapy, is not easy and I see my clients as courageous and hopeful for taking this step. Sometimes therapy is healing and transformational, other times it is simply a space to take some deep breaths. Either way, my practice is always client-centered and compassion-based, being present with you in whatever space you are in. My hope in working with me is that you develop a sense of self-compassion and a strength-based lens to view yourself and your relationships through.
