Do you feel safe being who you really are? It's our birthright to be seen, be loved and belong. But if your identity has been marginalized or you belong to more than one culture, it can be challenging to reconcile who you are with others' expectations of who you should be. Maybe you're a helping professional who gives so much there’s nothing left for you. Perhaps you grew up in a religious tradition that no longer fits you, or no tradition at all, and you're seeking a connection with something greater than yourself. Maybe you've tried talk therapy and it wasn't enough. Maybe you've thought, There's gotta be another way.

Activist Lilla Watson expressed: “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” This vision inspires my approach to therapy: one that is collaborative, open, and exploratory, kindled by mutual feelings of trust and safety. It also reflects my philosophy toward the healing process as one that is non-linear and rooted in both individual growth and collective care.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, down, or struggling in relationships with family, friends or significant others? Are you experiencing loss or dealing with chronic illness in you or a family member? We all face a variety of challenging situations, emotions relationships and events. I believe there are times people may want to clarify their thinking about a problem or take their management of a life challenge up a notch. I believe my job is to support people’s efforts to do that by listening and assisting people in leveraging their strengths.

Clients often seek therapy when they or their children are experiencing distress and/or want to better understand themselves and their relationships with others and their environment. I view each client as unique and seek to gain an in-depth understanding of their life and experiences and how they impact current difficulties. Using an integrated approach to therapy and intervention, I believe in the role of a strong therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to understand concerns, identify goals, and develop skills and knowledge leading to more adaptive functioning and improved quality of life.

I believe that through our connection with each other, we can make meaning within life's decisions. I see life and its challenges from a holistic perspective, which involves the interplay of lived experience and response to the brokenness and wholeness in our physical, spiritual, mental, social, and environmental relationships. I have worked for nearly eight years as a counselor, providing programs and opportunities that engage people in understanding relationships, anxiety, fears, attaining self-confidence, spiritual healing, and how it impacts our life stories.

Counseling is a collaborative process undertaken between you and a therapist, designed to empower you to accomplish mental health and wellness goals. For counseling to be most effective, you must take an active role in the process. A trusting and authentic therapeutic relationship can be transformative. It can be healing simply to be truly heard and understood. I can offer new perspectives and provide insight moving you towards your personal goals. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, creative, evidence-based, results-oriented, flexible, and holistic. People often arrive at psychotherapy when they want to deal with problems, alleviate emotional suffering, make a change, move in a new direction, or find well-being. I try to balance acceptance and change, acknowledging that the first step towards change is accepting reality. I think the therapeutic relationship needs to be a real and genuine connection. I value being kind, genuine, thoughtful, direct, honest, and playful as a person and a therapist.
