I'm not currently accepting new clients; however, I'm happy to refer to another clinician with openings at my trauma-focused group practice, Sustainable Wellness. I believe we all have the potential to better ourselves, and that growth occurs while exploring the root causes of issues - not just treating symptoms. I have a holistic approach, treating the entire person rather than a disorder or specific hardship. I view my clients as experts on their own lives and my role as the facilitator of change. I help address my clients' struggles while, equally importantly, maintaining areas of strength.

Welcome! Seeking therapy is a wise and adaptive choice that can help you build connection with self and others by enhancing your capacity to face stressful situations, the past, and relationships. Sometimes personal patterns can make it difficult to share and live life in a way that is meaningful and honors your values. In my practice, therapy is a collaborative partnership that helps identify stuck points, builds resilience in the face of adversity, and develops strategies to pursue the life you deserve. The process will guide you to better understand the deeper aspects of yourself.

Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

Many of my clients have come to me after not having success with traditional talk-therapies in the past. I have worked extensively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, prioritizing culturally sensitive care that honors each client's unique experiences. I want to empower clients to advocate for their needs, confront their fears, and overcome obstacles to achieving their goals, whether those barriers are self-imposed, or a systemic issue. I have experience ranging from crisis prevention, to supporting individuals through their life transitions, relationship challenges, and learning to accept all parts of themselves.
