{{{{ ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS }}}} Good therapy begins with a strong relationship between therapist and client, and I believe that creating this empathic connection is one of my greatest strengths. I provide a client-centered, strength-based, affirmative approach that is warm and welcoming — a safe space where clients can share, process, and experience their thoughts and emotions. I am committed to meeting clients where they would like to begin their journey, working collaboratively toward healing, acceptance, purpose, well-being, and fulfillment.
Working within a client's identified goals, I aim to offer new information, new skills, and a new frame of reference from which they can envision a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities. Fostering the uniqueness and authenticity of each client, I purposefully incorporate multicultural concepts and client values into the process.
WANT TO USE INSURANCE? Most insurance companies reimburse for my services. I can guide you through the process to submit the forms to your insurance so that they will be able to reimburse you directly. They are required to process your claim within 30 days. I'm happy to discuss this process during a consultation.

A psychotherapy processing group integrating somatic experiencing, mindfulness, and emotion focused therapy to treat/address symptoms ranging from anxiety, depression, PTSD, unexplained physical pain, fatigue, or illness. This group provides an opportunity to explore and address the underlying concerns, as well as, learning effective strategies for coping with and healing them. It is intended to: create a support network for women with common struggles; a place to share honestly about these struggles, feelings, and receive supportive feedback; deal with what is happening emotionally in the moment; and to access the places within that are traditionally or automatically avoided or downplayed.
