I am passionate about working with clients facing life's peaks and valleys, ready to create awareness & change. As a therapist specializing in relationships, I feel privileged to partner with individuals and couples as they navigate the complexities of love, connection, & communication. Guiding my clients through the highs & lows of their relational journeys, I offer a compassionate ear & a non-judgmental space where we can explore emotions, fears, and aspirations. Together, we unravel patterns, cultivate understanding, and co-create strategies to foster healthier, more fulfilling connections—with themselves and others.

Over the past decade with individual, group and family therapy, my work with youth and adults has focused primarily on trauma, anxiety, self injurious behaviors, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, family stressors, and intimate partner abuse.
Something brought you to this site today. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis, stuck in unhealthy patterns, haunted by past traumas, or wrestling with anxiety...you're here. Stress and suffering can have massive effects on relationships, mood, health, and everyday life. Feeling stuck can be so lonely, Feeling overwhelmed is exhausting. Being flooded with racing thoughts can leave you feeling hopeless. In therapy we can't make life stressors go away, and we can't undo the hurt you've experienced. But we can work together to make sense of your past, stay centered in the moment, and move forward confidently into your future.

In therapy, we may pay attention to how power shapes your experiences and how power flows within our therapeutic relationship.
Therapy offers an opportunity for cultivating safety, security, and steadiness within ourselves and in our relationships. Through a warm and patient presence, gentle curiosity, and deep compassion, I hope to offer you a sturdy container within which you can practice vulnerability and explore a full range of feelings. I hold an awareness that our pain, grief, anger, joy, and pleasure live in our bodies, and I believe paying attention to what happens in our bodies can increase our insight and agency. Integrating somatic and mindfulness practices into our work together supports this connection between body and mind.

My experience includes: working with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, providing culturally informed care to people of color, relationship challenges, persons seeking support with exploration of gender identity, familial conflict, and clients experiencing trauma.
Life comes with its challenges, and in a world where there can at times seem to be a collective sense of pain, I view therapy as a journey that provides us with the opportunity to become more in tune with ourselves. In doing so, we develop new ways to prevail and thrive. Being a queer person of color, I have dedicated my time in the field to supporting those who have lived similar experiences to my own. In sessions, I seek to create a trusting relationship that highlights your strengths.

Developing a relationship with a compassionate, skilled therapist who can help you be present with current life stressors or past traumas, can be an important part of healing. In my practice I work with adults and adolescents with a variety of issues but specialize in issues related to sexual trauma (childhood or adult), childhood emotional/physical abuse, domestic violence, lack of parental attunement, and growing up in a home where alcohol and drugs were abused. I also work with couples who are experiencing challenges in communication, connection and how past trauma effects this. I provide clinical supervision to therapists.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, groups and families.
I remember my own experience meeting my new therapist. I was anxious to talk to a new person. I did not know if I would make sense. I did not want to feel judged. I remember feeling lost and hopeless. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to change the bad feelings and I resisted to believe that there was something wrong with me. I wanted someone who could guide me to understand my world and myself. I wanted a safe space. I needed to find someone who could collaborate with me in changing and resisting. I did not want a therapist who treated me as a study object. I just wanted to feel fully human.

My speciality is working with individuals experiencing issues with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, over-eating, grief and trauma. My approach is to first identify existing coping strategies to deal with the current stressors. Together, we sort out the underlying problems and identify and develop a tool kit with more effective coping strategies for the many challenges that the world throws at you. We examine and re-frame your emotional reactions to current and past trauma. The relationship between therapist and client is really important for change; and I do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere.

Good therapeutic experiences are created through a balance of support and challenge in the context of a good therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I try to create support by listening carefully, trying hard to understand, highlighting your strengths, validating your experiences, and celebrating your growth. I try to provide challenge by encouraging you to develop insight into your your situation, presenting concerns. thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and considering what, if anything, you want to change about these things.

Imagine having a partner guiding and supporting you throughout your self love and self discovery journey.
You are in a season of transition and you feel stuck in knowing what is the “right” step to take first. Overthinking is causing anxiety and self doubt has you questioning yourself. You no longer want to allow comparisons, pleasing, and perfectionism to stop you from living your life on your terms. You know you want more for yourself. You acknowledge that you deserve more. More fulfillment, joy, meaningful connections, and satisfaction. You are ready to unapologetically live your best life as your authentic self.

My goal is to help families and couples feel heard while providing a safe and secure space to share the uncomfortable and sometimes daunting thoughts that all relational systems experience.
I am currently building a thriving practice of couples and families that are seeking relief and understanding, and the work I am doing is centered around finding belonging and safety in the spaces and relationships we occupy. The couples I work with are navigating life transitions, evaluating the state of and investment in their relationship, or are considering moving toward mutual separation and transition to a co-parenting relationship. With families my work has involved improving communication within families separated by physical distance, generational healing, and increasing connection following loss.

I knew I found the right therapist when every mask I brought to session was accepted so much that I finally felt comfortable enough to not put one on anymore. I feel that therapy should be the space where you can bring your whole self and feel seen, heard, acknowledged, and appreciated. It can also be the space where you discover, reconstruct, and understand yourself. The work to achieve these goals and your specific goals can be heavy, exhausting, and scary. That's where I come in! By prioritizing the therapeutic relationship, we will move through the stages of awakening, awareness and action, so you won't have to do it alone.

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to recover from the never-ending cycle of perfectionism and helping folks heal from body shame and develop a loving relationship to their body, food, and movement.
Some things are difficult to think about and even harder to talk about. Perhaps you are experiencing depression or anxiety, dissatisfaction in a relationship or career, or struggling with substance abuse/misuse or self-sabotaging behaviors. These are just some of the many reasons that one might find themselves seeking help from a therapist. When one makes the decision to seek help it is the courageous first step in the journey to self-awareness and a more fulfilling life. Very simply, my role as a therapist is to help you begin the transformative journey of uncovering limiting beliefs that are obstacles to emotional wellness.

I specialize in working with couples and adults who are struggling with relationships, self esteem, mood disorders, parenting and trauma.
Looking for an empathetic, supportive, solution-focused therapist? The clients I serve appreciate the connection we share and the candid, compassionate style that structures each therapy session. You don't have to continue feeling stuck in a relationship. Anxious or depressive symptoms don't have to continue to make each day a struggle. Loving yourself is possible.
