Finding yourself here means that you are curious— curious about why you are feeling this way and how therapy might help. Often we forget to take the necessary time to check in with ourselves; to figure out where we’re at, how we got here & what we need in a particular moment to move forward. We find ourselves STUCK. Allowing yourself a weekly space to slow down and think aloud, opens you up for deeper clarity. I have 18 years of clinical experience collaborating with my patients to unearth underlying concerns and figure out future goals and intentions to begin moving forward.

Somewhere along our life’s journey, we may have lost our “true self.” Somewhere in our past, we may have gotten stuck, thinking “I am not my best self.” We may know exactly when this shift happened, we may not. It is my belief that being in an empathic, non-judgmental and trusting therapeutic relationship can support you in living the life you always wanted.

Are you stressed or stalled in achieving your personal, relationship, or career dreams? My goal is to help you to better understand your dreams, thoughts, and behaviors that hinder or help you in achieving these goals. We then collaborate on identifying your strengths and using them to find solutions that empower you. We will use insight-oriented and accountability practices to help you remain productive and to challenge thoughts, coping patterns, or unconscious beliefs that may be keeping you stuck or in limbo.

As a therapist, experiencing individuals meet their personalized goals set in therapy has been the most rewarding experience. Individuals choose to begin this journey of themselves for themselves knowing that they are strong enough to become the best versions of themselves. I have experience providing individual and couples therapy. I have experience assisting individuals presenting with concerns related to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship or family issues, and racial identity.

I aim to create a collaborative, genuine and trusting relationship with clients in therapy by infusing curiosity, spontaneity and honesty into how I relate to others. I listen for patterns – how you show up in relationships, how you view yourself or how you experience our work together – in an effort to help you understand yourself better and examine what patterns, if any, are worth changing or reshaping.

I firmly believe that therapy is for everyone. I offer a safe, healing, and open space for folks to be heard and understood. My goal is to provide meaningful therapy specific to you, your life experiences, and your goals. Through my diverse experiences in community mental health, I have learned that we are not ‘one size fits all’. My practice is enriched through Mindfulness & Grounding, CBT, and IFS. I use a combination of trauma-informed, person-centered, and strength-based practices to explore new perspectives and foster growth.

For all people who set out to begin therapy, it can be difficult to know what to expect. This may be especially true if you are seeking support for your child or teen. I approach therapy with a unique focus on empowerment, knowledge, and engagement. My sessions create a dynamic space for clients to not only address their challenges but also to have fun, resolve roadblocks, discover, and continuously contribute to their unique toolbox of coping skills.

I am passionate about supporting clients in navigating the turbulent inner and outer landscapes of the human experience. I seek to move away from the notion of a therapist as the expert, or “fixer,” and instead assume the role of trusted companion in the process of self-discovery. I believe in trusting the wisdom that each client brings with them into the therapeutic process, and that every client is the expert in their own inner world. I encourage clients to practice looking inwards when experiencing difficult seasons of life, which can feel drastically different than looking outwards for distractions, or ways to stay busy.

I fundamentally believe that the human experience is one that breeds obstacles full of pain, confusion, & distress. I also fundamentally believe that even in the midst of pain there can still be so much joy. Every human deserves support to manage, understand, & heal from the difficult experiences this life presents us with, but also deserves encouragement in learning to find & celebrate joy! Life unfortunately can sometimes get the best of us, but there is always hope for something more, something better, something different. I deeply believe that with therapy, people can transform their lives.

I believe that growth and change are possible - but also - you might be exactly where you need to be in your life.
