I became particularly interested in the spiritual and existential aspects of integrative approaches after serving many clients with grief work and having conversations about spirituality and death. So, I studied to become a death doula, also known as an end-of-life doula or death midwife, out of a desire to not only educate myself further but be able to better serve and serve and support individuals and families during one of life's most profound experiences. After the world collapsed into a pandemic, I've noticed an increase in clients wanting to talk more about the concept of death and mortality.

I believe in the importance of using my skills and voice to help empower my clients. I look forward to a long career in the mental health field where my community members, especially people of color, veterans, women, and individuals needing a cheerleader and advocate in their corner, can receive the care that they deserve. I want to understand the whole person and hope that everyone will soon be able to see themselves for who they are and not by what society or their diagnosis tells them. Seeking mental health treatment is a big step and I want to celebrate each person’s journey.

Every person faces challenging circumstances throughout life, but no one has to endure the pain of difficult experiences alone. We know from experience that therapy can be transformative and offers the potential for enormous growth and positive change. The therapeutic relationship is central to the change process and as part of this, I strive to foster a collaborative approach with my clients by creating a safe, accepting environment. I approach counseling in a strengths-based framework and recognize that we all have skills and abilities that have developed to cope and carry us through our toughest times.

I’m a certified sex therapist with extensive training in infidelity, narcissistic abuse, and antagonistic relational stress. I'm passionate about helping my clients discover their authentic selves. So many of us carry around so much guilt and shame about who we are and what we need to thrive. We spend our lives trying to convince the world that we’re worthy. This makes it impossible to trust our intuition, honor our desires, and show up fully in our relationships!

Offering virtual sessions in California, Florida, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. Trauma can take its toll; it can even feel unspeakable. If you have survived something that has caused you pain, you deserve to heal and release what has been trapped inside of you, without fear of judgment. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to recover; everyone is unique. All of the "marks" of trauma you notice in yourself hold wisdom to offer, in terms of understanding how you managed to stay alive and survive this whole time. It’s not about looking for “what’s wrong” with you; it’s about understanding what’s happened to you and taking your power back.

I resonate with the Christian community and, in addition, folk that may have their own religion and have a totally different worldview- which is, perfectly OK. I find that all still yearn for belonging, acceptance, and a strong desire to be seen as special by themselves and others. Unfortunately, life and important others in your world, as a child or later, did not cooperate. Instead, they treated you with shame, verbal abuse, rejection, and you were led to believe that you were marred or flawed in some way, resulting in a sense of worthlessness. And through learned coping strategies we sort of half way existed. Familiar?

You work so hard to become a professional and then Wham, out of nowhere you begin to experience anxiety or a feeling that maybe you don't know what you are doing after all. Your supervisor's communication feels like sandpaper and you get emotional without apparent reason. The work just doesn't feel like what you expected and you just feel out of sorts. You begin to realize you are using substances and some pretty unhealthy behavior just to cope. I mean it was fine in college but now it keeps you from feeling good. You need support from someone that gets it. You just need to get back on track.

My work in mental wellness is guided by the belief that all humans have the ability to heal when they have the tools and safe space to do so. My hope is to provide that space where folks can show up as their authentic self, free from fear of judgment. I believe that we are shaped by our experiences and our environments, and my goal in this work is to support people in investigating and making meaning of their stories and their contexts with compassion.

I work with a multicultural clientele suffering from a range of issues, with a strong focus on self-love, compassion, empathy, and warmth. For those struggling with depression, anxiety, finding vision in life or rediscovering personal identity, we bring a grounded, body and heart focused method to therapy. Suffering is a part of life, and sometimes we learn unhealthy coping strategies, including substance use and addictive activities which can also be addressed in our sessions. Restoring self-confidence and appreciation is a major part of the work we do together.

Neurodiverse clients I have worked with said they felt understood and supported and said that I genuinely care about them. I encourage neurodiverse communication styles, ways of thinking, and varieties of emotional expression. I will follow your lead on what you want out of therapy. The autistic community has a higher rate of trans and nonbinary gender identities which I celebrate. I also have a master’s degree in child development. I focused on sexual development and attachment theory. I support all sexualities and ethical relationship styles. I also studied healthy racial identity development in people of color and white people.

Depression, anxiety, and chronic stress can wreak havoc on our overall health and wellness. Ultimately, most humans desire to live a life we enjoy and feel comfortable in our own skin. This can be achieved by restructuring our thinking, increasing our self-efficacy, and feeling more confident engaging the world around us. There's no one-size-fits-all, so a holistic approach to life is vital to reaching our goals.
