The unconscious is deep rooted and can control our thoughts and emotions, which in turn dictate our behaviors. All emotions are to be respected, they tell us something about ourselves.

I have a passion for working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, stress and burnout. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy rooted in warmth, humor and empathy. My diverse background in business, hospitality, manufacturing and education allows me to relate to people from all walks of life. I am particularly passionate about reducing stigma, and increasing accessibility to mental health services in the BIPOC community.

I view therapy as a collaborative and holistic approach to the navigation of the human condition and as a safe space to explore everything life throws our way. As an existentialist and a relational therapist, my goal is to emphasize identity development, emotional insight and regulation, freedom and responsibility, effective communication, relational interdependence, and the creation of meaning. We are all walking through this world together and experiencing growth, hardship, change, love, and loss. Because we are human, I believe that every person can benefit from having a place to process emotions and an ear to listen with empathy

I serve a variety of ages covering a diverse range of mental health and emotional concerns. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 10-17, including those in the foster care/adoption and juvenile justice systems. These concerns range anywhere from adjustment difficulties to the effects of abuse and neglect, including, but not limited to parental conflict, anger management, depression, bullying, homelessness, drug abuse, grief and loss, and anxiety. My work with adults (18+) is very similar, but also includes marriage struggles, life transitions, and faith, to name just a few.

Growing up, you had to deny parts of yourself in order to be loved. Maybe you grew up in a family, culture, or religious background that rejected aspects of your identity, so you learned to repress or abandon parts of yourself in order to fit in. In adulthood, you find yourself struggling to form deep connections with yourself and others. On your hardest days, you might even question whether you’re lovable at all, or if maybe you’re too broken to ever fully feel whole.
