I'm here to offer support using various evidence-based practices and frameworks, especially in addressing issues that affect Black, Indigenous, and other persons of color, as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with individuals, families, couples, and groups aged 6-80. However, there may be times when I might not have the specific knowledge and resources needed to provide you with the best care. If you're currently dealing with issues related to Eating Disorders, Religion, Family/Domestic Violence, or Anger, I encourage you to explore other options for assistance.

I hold a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and am pursuing a doctoral degree in Art Therapy.
Every individual carries their own inner wounds that need to be dealt with. When we are empathetically understood and listened to, we discover our hidden strengths as resources and are empowered to understand better and relate to ourselves and those around us. When we see our rigid patterns from multiple angles, we have a greater capacity to understand situations in which we find ourselves more objectively. I create a compassionate and healing space where empathy guides our work toward understanding and growth.

As a therapist focused on personal growth, I strive to make clients feel that I am part of their extended family.
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao-Tzu. Let's face it: asking for help isn't always easy, but you've taken the courage to do so. Therapy is an exciting experience of self-discovery! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with adults, individually or as couples. I use a bilateral approach, incorporating a Strength-based practice with a focus on the mind/body connection, in particular Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). I assist clients in noticing, when automatic processes are occurring & to alter their reaction to be more of a reflection.

In addition to adolescents, I also work with adults struggling to balance the weight of work and family, without losing their identity.
As a therapist at a variety of school and wilderness therapy settings, I have been working with adolescents and young adults for over 10 years now. I recognize the unique challenges teenagers are faced with today and how to connect with them in a meaningful way. I also realize that starting therapy for the first time can be a daunting experience for anyone. Taking the first step to get help is often the most difficult. That's why it's my priority to make sure new clients are greeted with empathy, they feel heard and as though they're walking into a comfortable, non-judgmental environment.
