My clinic prioritizes medical professionals and people of color (to work on healing racial trauma) Working with a diverse population for many years widens my appreciation toward everyone I encounter. Learning from years of valuable experience, I do not take a blueprint or “one-size-fits-all” approach. Every client has an individualized curriculum. No matter what the challenge brings, I will help you in managing a complex post-pandemic life and strengthening your relationships.

A question posed by my mother entering into any conversation growing up, whose repetition used to grind my gears, is now a question I find myself constantly embodying and valuing in my professional life: “Would you like me to respond, or would you like me to listen?” As a therapist, I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to serve as a guide, facilitator, and safe space as I collaborate with you to explore your therapeutic goals. Depending on what feels helpful to you, I am able to act as your sounding board, and I am able to challenge you.

"If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present." While this quote is certainly a simplification, I do believe that people do best when they are in the present moment. I work with my clients to help them be more present, and feel more at peace, in their relationships, at work or school, and in their communities. I pride myself on creating a nonjudgmental, welcoming environment that meets the client where they are at.

Life transitions, relationships in flux, maybe you haven't felt like yourself recently. Navigating hard emotions that keep you up a night, or preoccupy thinking, might be holding you back from enjoying activities and relationships you once did. Reasons for seeking therapy are unique and individual to you. You are deserving of a therapist who will build a space for you to be vulnerable with your story and emotions. Together, we can build a path forward through empathetic processing, acceptance, skill building, and goal planning.

Hi, if you are here and looking, then I believe I can help you. Life can be difficult at any stage. Sometimes it is transitions, sometimes it is navigating relationships, exploring where to go next, making decisions, or simply dealing with all life is throwing your way. It can be helpful to explore ways to approach the feelings that can be overwhelming, whether they are new feelings that you are experiencing, or things you have struggled with your entire life. It isn't easy to always begin that process but as I mentioned, if you are here and reading, you have already taken the first step.
