My passion lies in working with both youth and adults alike and believe that counseling offers an opportunity to reflect on the current challenges that you may be experiencing in life, and working together with you on moving forward. In particular I have a heart and passion for working with youth and young adults of color. I believe that racial identity is linked to every aspect of daily lives for people of color and often leads to ongoing symptoms of stress and anxiety. I love working with individuals of all races and ethnicities, including folks who identify as children of immigrants.

I work with individuals 12+, teens, and adults.
I understand how important it is to feel like you can authentically be yourself in therapy. The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of any therapy process. When working with me, we'll do the hard therapy work BUT we'll also make jokes, laugh, find things we have in common, celebrate our differences & move through the many emotions that come with being human. Relationships and our connections drive so much of our development over our lifetime. The relationship we often work on the least is the one with ourselves - yet, this one might be the most important.

I primarily see adults and adolescents; and my experience in trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based practices, and cognitive- behavioral therapy allows for gentle movement towards change and self-acceptance.
Through the process of psychotherapy individuals can explore where personal and relationship change may be needed and where old painful patterns may be released. I work to assist my clients with navigating life's challenges, strengthening their relationship to themselves/others, focusing on symptom management/alleviation, along with compassionate and creative exploration into the past to understand current impact.

I have been helping folks get unstuck and regain or find their HOPE and their WHY my whole career. Whether I am working with children, adolescents, adults or my fellow/sister clinicians the work is the same. We all just take different routes to get to the top of the mountain. Motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and structural family therapy provide the backbone of my practice. I have witnessed and celebrated with people as they have made the most incredible recoveries and been in awe as others have somehow withstood what seemed unbearable grief.

Life is tough. Many aspects of a person’s life can contribute to feelings of loneliness, an ongoing sense of being on edge, a lack of motivation, and extreme overwhelm. This can impact us in countless ways including a lack of boundaries, relationship challenges, day-to-day life, and a general feeling of instability in our lives. Trauma, anxiety, and depression can make it hard just to get through the day. People seek therapy for a variety of struggles. Whatever your reason is, we will work together on your destination toward self-awareness, healing, and personal growth. You do not need to go through this journey alone.
