Breaking the stigma of mental health begins by choosing to be healthy for yourself. Trusting someone is difficult, especially when struggling with mental health, because it makes us feel vulnerable. Please know vulnerability is not a weakness. My passion is helping, including creating a comfortable space that allows individuals to be their authentic selves. We all have a story that includes various experiences. I enjoy helping individuals to gain an understanding of their stories to provide them with clarity and empowerment. My experience includes domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

Visit my website to see my real-time availability and request an appointment. "I don't need to talk about it." That may be what you have always believed, but life keeps happening and now you don't know what else to do. It could be that you feel like no one has ever really understood or accepted you as you are, or maybe something traumatic has happened. Maybe you're in a relationship with someone you love, but you can't seem to make it work, or maybe you feel shame after turning toward an addiction to fill the emptiness. At some point, everything that used to work stops working and you wonder if you will ever be happy again.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.

Adjusting to life changes can be hard to do on your own. Whether it is work stress, relationship challenges, or finding your new normal after trauma, I am here to help. Working with trauma survivors and first responders is my focus. Growing up in a first responder household gave me first hand experience of the adversity emergency service personnel can face. Stress and trauma can have a debilitating effect on a person's physical and mental well being, causing them to feel unable to cultivate the lifestyle they wish to achieve. I can help give you the tools needed to bring mental stability into your day to day life.

Visit my website for real-time availability and to request an appointment. Maybe you can’t do this anymore. You’re stronger than most have ever had to be, but inside you swing between anger and helpless shame, if you let yourself feel anything at all. You keep doing it over and over again—maybe drinking, drugs, sex, rage, self-harm—and you hate it...but on the other hand, hasn't it been more reliable than anything or anyone else? You ask into that inner darkness, "Why am I like this?" But all you get in reply is a desperation to leave it all behind, and then a familiar fear: maybe this is all I deserve or am ever going to get.

I find that I work best with those who are looking for a change from the extremely clinical-feeling approach to therapy. I believe therapy shouldn't feel hierarchical, nor alienating- you and I are on the same level here. We’re collaborating to help you reach a point in your life where you feel stable and content. I’m not here to judge you or tell you what to do, but rather to work as a friendly voice to help you connect missing pieces and wade through life’s challenges with more confidence.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is pivotal to a beneficial and meaningful experience in therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change and the strongest predictor of treatment success. My international education encouraged me to adopt a flexible, curious, and inclusive perspective on the factors that contribute to one's identity and difficulties (e.g., religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to support clients' introspective journeys, exploration of identities, and understanding of the self, others, and the world.

I individualize each person and family member and believe that incorporating all members of the family is an important component in the process of therapy.
