As a neurodiverse queer transgender woman and a survivor, I know how hard it can be to seek desperately needed help, only to be made unwelcome by the very professionals we trust to provide that help. I always strive to meet my clients with openness, respect, and compassion. I believe that therapy should provide a safer space to explore your values and strengths, gain insight into your struggles, and learn new skills for healing, transformation, and liberation.

I believe in the enriching and transformative power of an authentically validating therapeutic relationship, one that is secure and trusting. My sincere goal is to create a connection with you that is collaborative, accepting, exploratory, honest and safe. Therapy has the ability to awaken us to be fully present in life. It helps us to know our stories, our patterns, our desires, our full and whole selves more deeply. This awareness inspires and creates growth, healing and change.

Saying how you really feel can be terrifying. I provide a warm, accepting space where you can feel both vulnerable and safe to do that. We will honor your strengths, identify your goals, and examine the thoughts & behaviors that no longer serve you. In this way, we’ll work together to help unpack the things you’ve tucked away and ultimately heal from what’s hurt you.

If you're struggling with painful thoughts and feelings or a challenging life event, it's important that you feel understood and supported. It is crucial to find a safe place to work on these issues where you will not be judged. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 13 years of experience assisting people suffering from anxiety, depression, history of trauma, postpartum adjustment, chronic stress, dysfunctional environments, grief and loss. It can be important to explore historical life events, and my approach also consists of skill-building and learning coping skills for the present.

When I was a kid, I observed my mom go through counseling. I saw her gain tools to manage depression and evolve into someone who knew her worth. She modeled for me how effective counseling can be. It is my absolute pleasure to support my clients in this way. I am especially passionate about supporting women of color in healing from wounds, and seeing & strengthening their resilience.

Life experiences shape the way individuals view themselves, their relationships, and their environment. Adverse experiences can leave individuals conflicted and overwhelmed.

Life can be challenging. Maybe you have been feeling overwhelmed, confused, alone, stressed, sad, or stuck. Perhaps what used to help you feel better is no longer working. Maybe what brought your life purpose and meaning no longers feels aligned with the YOU of today. Maybe you are having difficulty connecting with the people most important to you. Know that whatever it is you are feeling as you read this, it is valid, your experience is valid, and you have the capacity for change. I invite anyone seeking support in their lives, and have experience working with adults from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Do you ever get caught off guard by a feeling that seems to come out of the blue? In some cases, you can "power through it" and not let it impact you too much, but other times it seems to paralyze you. In these times of paralysis, a little voice shows up and says "You shouldn't feel that way" or some version of "toughen up". While these ideas seem good in theory, they just don't take into account these feelings that are present. Therapy presents us with an opportunity to change the narrative.
