Therapy can be a powerful vehicle for insight and self-discovery. Working together, we will explore self-defeating thoughts, patterns, and behaviors so that you can cultivate a more compassionate and loving relationship with yourself and others. As we move through a process of self-discovery, one that recognizes your unique strengths, I will help you gain insight and balance so that you can more effectively meet life’s challenges and create lasting change. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and heart to transcend and transform personal challenges.

Trust, initially, is not earned, it is a risk. And so it means if you experience distrust upon our first encounter, well then you might just be a member of the human race. The safer someone is, the more likely they are to venture into trust, and so this is the primary specialization of therapy, to create a space that is safe. There are varying degrees of safety, but for the most part it comes when: you can be yourself, feel acceptance and positive regard, do not have to protect yourself from abusive behavior, experience confidentiality and kindness, a willingness by someone to help, and that the person before you is authentic.

Are you hoping to better communicate, manage conflict and revamp your connection with your partner? Or are you in the midst of a major life transition? My clients struggle like you. Despite their brilliance, creativity and drive, the pressures of adapting to life's changes or communicating with their partner seem overwhelming. Before my clients came to see me, they figured that it was “too late” to make a change, and their life “is what it is.” They feared that if they took any drastic steps to improve their lives, it would be considered “selfish.” The fear of change, but also the fear of never changing created tension and anxiety.

I am a strong believer in Internal Family Systems (IFS) (level 1 trained) and am passionate about the model and exploring parts and your system in ways that make sense and are healing for you.
I'm a relationship therapist. I love relationships, creating connection and figuring out how and why things disconnect us. If you feel stuck in one of yours - family, friend, partner - I'd love to collaborate on what might get you unstuck. I know many of us say "communication" is the problem in our relationships. While that's true, it's often a lot deeper than just that and I help you understand what's underneath and work through it. i also specialize in grief and loss in relationships and in general. Healing is not linear and therapy can be helpful in processing loss and grief.

With training in family systems theory, I address the needs of individuals in the context of family, social & cultural systems while working from a strength-based perspective.
As people of color, we have not always been given the opportunity to address the intricacies of our mental health. We need to remind ourselves that we deserve to have a voice and tend to the vulnerable parts of who we are and what we experience in our lives. I focus my work on the lived experiences of my clients as I aim to decolonize therapy with a justice-oriented and strengths-based approach. I work with individuals to develop positive tools and resources to help improve their relational and individual wellbeing.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I specialize in working with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.

In our present lives, due to the high levels of stress, so many individuals of every age are suffering with their mental health. Our mental health is a vital part in living a quality life. The first step is always the most difficult in anything we do, especially when it comes to letting others know we need help. That first step towards positive mental health involves the realization, that you may need another person to come along side of you, to assist in leading the way forward.

Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
