Many of us go throughout life having to be different versions of ourselves, whether that’s being different versions at work, with friends or with family. We get into this mode where we compartmentalize, hide ourselves and our experiences for various reasons which can include shame, pain, anxiety, anger, or fear of not being accepted. This often leaves us feeling lost, tired, unfulfilled, or unhappy. Whether you are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, problems with relationships, or a general sense of disconnectedness, I will work alongside you to promote inner healing, self discovery, and acceptance.

It's important to have the right fit for what you need in a therapist. I've worked with diverse communities as a Panel Review Member in Juvenile Court, a community support team member, crisis counselor, and clinician. I understand that one individual's positive well-being and good mental health has a domino-effect in the reverse not only on them but also on those we love. My approach is to work toward Your desired goals in life. You can navigate life's challenges and promote your inner healing, personal growth, and positive self-development.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. Often anxiety, OCD, grief, or trauma leads to feeling stuck, hopeless or beyond repair. These thoughts and feelings do not have to define you. We can work together to build hope and find peace. The healing journey can be scary, and you are taking some brave steps forward. In my experience supporting both adults and teens who struggle with anxiety, OCD and trauma, I have learned that healing is possible and you do not have to be stuck forever. It would be my honor to work alongside you in this journey to find healing and wholeness.
