I offer judgment-free and evidenced-based Sexual Health, OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy.
The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world, symbolizes the change in the perspective of self-realization. The kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life. We weave this meaning into the fabric of our mission and in the work we provide to every client enrolled at SHARE. Are you stuck or lost? Are you struggling with anxiety and fear? Are those intrusive thoughts derailing your days? Feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner(s) can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable, and alone. Whatever your struggle, I am here for you.

My specialties include Multicultural Counseling, Racial Trauma, Identity Development, Life Transitions, Neurodiversity (Autism and ADHD), Couples and Relationship Therapy, Disordered Eating and Self-Esteem concerns, and LGBTQIA+ identities.
I have a love of social justice advocacy and consider it an essential part of my role as a mental health therapist. I aim to empower clients to look to their personal experiences as a source of resilience through a humanistic, strength-based approach to counseling while encouraging clients to view mental wellness from a holistic perspective. I enjoy incorporating elements of mindfulness into my clinical work with all ages. My approach to counseling considers the intersectional nature of lived experience and the ways our diverse identities inform how we view ourselves.

As an openly gay/ queer woman survivor of childhood trauma, I'm experientially informed in my counseling work.
Many present-day struggles have their origin in responses to traumatic experiences in the past. While these responses deserve great respect for having kept us alive (physically and/or emotionally), moving from surviving to thriving asks us to recognize that the past is not present. Working together, we can strengthen your ability to stay and feel with what is, rather than continue to respond to the trauma that was. We can gently lay those old trauma responses to rest and find new, healing ways of responding to the here and now.

My focuses of practice are on the LGBTQ+ community, people with adjustment issues, trauma, and mood disorders, and anyone seeking to improve their coping skills and find solutions to make life more about living and less about just surviving!

I remember the first time I decided to seek therapy. I remember the mixed emotions of anxiety, fear, being overwhelmed, not knowing what to look for, or where to go. It can be especially hard if you identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+. You can rest assured that all of those feelings are valid and normal. Don't let fear prevent you from reaching out for help with the issues you are going through. I am here to hold space for you and offer a supportive, unbiased, non-judgmental environment. I will stand by you on your healing journey as your guide. You don’t have to go through this alone.

There's no judgement or unrealistic expectations when you step into my office. My mission as a therapist is to walk alongside you through the struggles you're facing in order to accomplish the goals which are most important to you.
