With more than a decade of experience in hospitals, clinics, and private practice, I am guided by the belief that there is more that’s right with people, than is wrong with people. There is much about the way we live that contributes to the feeling of disconnection and destabilization that so many of us feel. And yet, few of us were ever taught the skills to navigate the seemingly simple (but actually pretty complex) worlds that we live in.

No code switching over here, no holding back over here, no showing up as half of your true self. You are entitled to having a therapist who strives to really see and understand you. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or are a concerned friend or family member, having an outside perspective can make all the difference. I have spent the last 10 years connecting with people, talking through and solving problems and being a voice of reason when things seem unmanageable or out of control. I have your back!

My approach is designed to validate your experience and help you reveal your inner strength and gain awareness so that you can finally heal and recover from traumas that are keeping you stuck. These interventions are the catalyst to growth and hold transformative power.
