Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or even stuck—and when it does, reaching out for support is a powerful act of courage. I provide a safe and affirming space for healing and growth, no matter your age, background, or life story.

I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan—from children and teens to adults and older adults. Whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, substance use, depression, anxiety, or imposter syndrome, we’ll work together to untangle the challenges and reconnect you with your strengths.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from approaches like CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care, always tailoring our work to what feels meaningful and effective for you. I honor every part of your identity—including race, culture, gender, and lived experiences—and strive to create an inclusive space for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, professionals, veterans, and families involved with Child Protective Services.

What you can expect from me

Healing doesn’t always mean fixing—it often means finding understanding, building resilience, and creating space for peace. If you’re ready to begin that journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.
