Great to meet you!

Are you feeling weighed down by depression, anxiety, or a quiet sense that you’re not enough, despite doing everything you can to hold it together? Are you overwhelmed by anxiety or caregiver responsibilities? Feeling stuck in old patterns that keep you from enjoying life? I help adults and couples build confidence, navigate transitions, and find meaningful relief from stress and self-doubt. I work especially with women and people of color navigating cultural stress and self-esteem challenges, as well as caregivers who are exhausted from balancing emotional responsibilities and their own well-being.

My approach to therapy

I used methods of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions-focused brief therapy (SFBT), internal family systems (IFS) and motivation interviewing to help clients overcome obstacles and reach higher potentials.

What you can expect from me

The first session will allow us to really get to know each other. We will work on setting goals for what you hope to achieve in our time together. I may encourage homework assignments, if together, we feel it would be beneficial. I work to provide a safe environment where we can both be honest about what is and is not working. During sessions, I will check in and I am open to feedback as well.
