I am the owner of InnerBloom Therapy Practice. I work with adults, children, and teens. I also work with parents to help them learn how to support their child and facilitate change at home by implementing strategies worked on during sessions. I help clients who experience stress and anxiety, life transitions, loss, mood disorders, problems at school, behavior issues, and difficulty regulating their emotions and developing connections with others. My fifteen years of experience as a school social worker have provided me with an understanding of the daily stressors and mental health needs of children and teens.

To be human is to tell stories, not only to others but to ourselves. As we navigate life, we accumulate experiences that weave the fabric of our story. The choice to pursue therapy can feel scary but it is my hope to witness your story evolve. My approach to therapy is client-centered, rooted in empathy and unconditional positive regard for my clients; I encourage and empower them to feel capable of self-growth as they face life’s challenges. Each person is unique, and I integrate various evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to address present concerns.

I believe in the power of human connection and the part it plays in healing. I bring genuineness to sessions and meet clients where they are at. In addition to my psychotherapy experience, I am a certified yoga instructor who strongly believes in the mind-body connection and approaching healing in a holistic manner. My approach to therapy emphasizes the power of being in-tuned with the body to help understand the mind. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the challenges of significant life transitions such as infertility, postpartum struggles, and parenthood.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking this step towards healing and growth! It’s my personal belief that all humans have the power to grow and heal, but sometimes we get lost or stuck on this journey. It can feel overwhelming and disheartening when we find ourselves stuck back in familiar (perhaps uncomfortable) places we’ve already been. That’s okay! It’s a part of healing. Therapy is a powerful place where we create insight into these patterns and find relief to live a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I value safety and collaboration within therapy, and empower clients to always prioritize their safety.

I help people become unstuck. The goal isn't to get rid of something, it is to cope or make better. I am informed in Addictions, Trauma, and Narcissism Recovery. I am a Yoga, Mindfulness, and Meditation Coach. We need to face our discomfort to become comfortable and change our thinking. That’s what I’m here to do. I help people realize they are not broken, they just need to get in touch with their authentic self. Your addictions, perfectionism’s, and needs to hide your vulnerabilities are not anything to be ashamed of. They are just trying to protect you.

Psychotherapy is an effective way for individuals to make significant personal life changes. I partner with my clients to identify the concerns and experiences that have led them to seek psychotherapy. Together we create a treatment plan that identifies ideals and sets goals and realistic expectations for change. Fostering resilience in the face of adversity, through a confidential therapeutic relationship we collaborate to break unhealthy patterns and create newer, more adaptive coping skills. With mutual commitment, honesty, trust, and humor, psychological, emotional, and functional personal change is achievable and sustainable.

By empowering clients to rewrite their own narratives, I encourage them to take charge of their life stories and create the changes they want to see. Using a collaborative, individualized approach, I strive to promote a warm, supportive, growth-oriented therapeutic environment while celebrating multicultural diversity and intersecting identities. I believe that therapy can aid individuals in achieving a greater sense of inner harmony and healing by providing guidance, insight, and understanding. In session, I aim to create a safe space for clients to explore areas of stress in their lives which do not align with their ideal self.

As a collaborative counselor, I create a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, warm, and non-judgmental. My approach is centered on considering the client as expert while working to help you reach stability, manage your challenges, and reach your goals. Coming from a cultural background where mental health is often stigmatized, I understand that seeking support can be difficult and therefore I aim to create a welcoming space for you ... a space of empowerment, improvement, and healing.

It takes courage to change, especially if you’re unsure what needs to change or how to change it. Psychotherapy can help you better understand what you want to change in your life and how to pursue those changes. In psychotherapy, we work together to develop a better understanding of you and the psychological problems bringing you to therapy. I see therapy as an opportunity to clarify what you want from life, better understand the unconscious emotional and relationship patterns keeping you stuck, and discover more fulfilling ways to relate to yourself and others.
