My goal is to create a calm and healing therapeutic environment. In this atmosphere, you are allowed to explore areas of challenges and personal growth.

Are you feeling anxious that you might not be able to handle this big life challenge with your physical & emotional wellbeing, authenticity, and serenity still intact? Hopeful that you can come out on the other side of it with new growth & wisdom? Struggling to navigate life and find fulfillment, love, & belonging as someone who's “different”, even from some of the people & communities you love most? Overwhelmed, disconnected, unseen, unheard, or unfulfilled in your relationships? Wrestling with whispers of shame, and wondering “Am I enough? Am I good enough?" I believe that we're all broken, wounded, and whole (yes, all three!), and that it's your wounds that make you beautiful. That you don't have to believe every story your brain tells you. That you're resilient and you can handle more than you think you can. That you're enough. With 15+ years’ experience, I’m especially passionate about working with caregivers, LGBTIQA+ folks, & people struggling with codependence or with a major life change. As a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS), I have many years experience helping people impacted by brain injury or stroke. I particularly enjoy working with identity or culture "straddlers", folks who have some kind of significant difference in identity or way-of-life from their family of origin or "home" community —class, education attainment, religion, politics, geographic, or rural-urban, to name a few. (A surprising number of struggles can be attributed to or exacerbated by having this particular life experience!) My clients say they feel deeply seen, heard, & understood, without judgment, but rather with positivity & gentle accountability for taking steps toward their goals, at their own pace. Together, we'll create a shared understanding of what you want to be different, and what’s getting in your way. Then, with me as your co-pilot, we’ll gain insights, learn strategies, and find healing...and set out on a path toward the life that you're yearning for. I invite you to take that brave first step: reach out and let's start a conversation!

You may feel stuck, lonely, or emotionally exhausted—longing for connection, but unsure how to reach it. Maybe you've tried to fix things on your own, but the same painful patterns keep showing up. You're not alone, and things can get better. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating anxiety, relational struggles, past trauma, and major life transitions. Whether you're dealing with emotional distance in your relationship, the stress of parenting, infertility, or a history that still feels unresolved, I offer a space where you’ll feel seen, supported, and gently challenged. My approach is experiential, collaborative, and deeply respectful. We’ll work together to understand what’s driving the pain, create new ways of relating to yourself and others, and uncover possibilities for growth and healing. Clients often describe our sessions as insightful, emotionally rich, and relieving—a place where real change begins.

I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationships concerns, family conflict, and grief. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves so that they can improve their relationships and quality of life. I tailor my approach to the needs of each client, responding to their own unique challenges and personality. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. People sometimes struggle to understand their distress, behavior, and patterns. By offering a safe, thoughtful environment, I empower my clients to cultivate a deeper understanding of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, enabling them to identify the issues that undermine their quality of life. We live together in the same society, but we each experience life differently, and everyone faces challenges that can make leading satisfying and happy lives more difficult. Accessing your inner strengths is possible, and this empowerment can help to resolve your pain, suffering, and confusion.

I offer compassionate and evidence-based therapy to help you navigate life's difficulties. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma, I can provide the support and tools you need to heal and grow. I'm here to listen without judgment and offer guidance on your journey toward healing and well-being. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. I believe in your ability to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through therapy, we'll work collaboratively to identify your strengths, develop practical solutions, and empower you to live a fulfilling life. I am available to clients across the state, allowing you to visit with me in the comfort of your home through telehealth, whether it be during the week or in the evenings or on weekends.

I understand how heavy life can feel when you’re living with depression or anxiety. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of worry, self-criticism, or exhaustion, unsure how to move forward. I offer a safe, supportive space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin to reconnect with yourself. My approach is gentle and collaborative. Together, we’ll explore your patterns, thoughts, and emotions that may be contributing to your distress while developing tools to help you find relief and balance. Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded, confident, and hopeful. Therapy isn’t just about addressing symptoms—it’s about growth, healing, and discovering new possibilities for how you live and relate. It’s a collaborative process that supports you in becoming more present, authentic, and at ease in your life. Therapy with me will provide a compassionate space for you to slow down, reflect, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. If this sounds like what you are looking for, contact me via email or phone to schedule an appointment today!

Accepting new clients- Life is hard. Most of us want to think that it gets easier but that only occurs when our skills (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual) improve. Therapy is the perfect place to learn and practice new skills while getting the encouragement to make it through life's toughest moments. And I am ready for you. I work with all clients and specialize in the BlackBrown communities, LGBTQ population, couples, and adolescents. I value intersectionality, solutions-focused work, and holistic practices. I specialize in following therapies: cognitive-behavioral, play, solutions-focused & strengths based. I value & support parent educationcounseling especially as parents navigate through the school system while raising a child with mental health concerns. I strongly value a holistic & organic approach to mental health progress. As a Counselor in an urban setting, I understand the time and transportation constraints that many clients may face. Therefore, I am able to provide on-site services (in-home andor confidential setting) or in my office.

You are not alone. Life can seem pretty unmanageable without added difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. However, you are not alone. How do you deal with racing thoughts? Do you find yourself often ignoring thoughts only to be kept up by them when you're trying to go to bed? I have helped several clients seeking assistance for mental health or behavioral issues, but I consider myself to be first and foremost a person who wants to help you deal with life's challenges. Together we can work to help provide clarity and balance in your life. I understand how certain issues such as addiction plague your daily life and those you care about. I provide strategies and techniques in a safe, judgment-free atmosphere where together we discuss your challenges and how to overcome them. Some people are frightened to go to therapy because of financial costs, anxiety about what to expect with therapy, andor not used to discussing their feelings. Talking to the people in your support system is encouraged but sometimes external assistance is necessary and that's ok too. I am here to help and support you in dealing with problems that may be holding you back. Some individuals are not ready to discuss their issues and that is okay. Since therapy is a mutual relationship, we are working together to help you grow mentally and emotionally stronger. You are not alone.

Welcome to my practice. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship to nurture change. I offer my clients a warm, collaborative, judgment-free environment where they can comfortably explore their challenges. I foster insight, offer support, and collaborate with my clients to establish new coping skills to effect meaningful change in their lives. I provide individual psychotherapy for adults who are facing a wide range of concerns. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I specialize in helping my clients manage anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship concerns, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and working with the LGBT community as an affirming therapist. I also have experience working in university counseling centers, which offers me unique insight into the issues facing undergraduates, graduate students, and young professionals. I have also received advanced training in the assessment and treatment of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International, which allows me to help new parents as they navigate perinatal mental health concerns.

Are stress, anxiety, or depression making it hard to enjoy life? I help individuals who feel overwhelmed by workschool, family dynamics, or marriage struggles find clarity and relief. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll identify patterns that keep you stuck and develop strategies to help you move forward.

Contact me today for a free consultation so we can begin this important work together.

My goal is to help you restore resilience. You may be feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges and discouraged by others who just “don’t get it.” Maybe you are in a rollercoaster of emotions or feel stuck like you’re going around the same mountain over and over again. I’m here to facilitate your healing journey and provide you the most appropriate treatment in your time of need. Don’t suffer in silence because you deserve to be heard. I also provide support for more complex and intensive care for clients seeking to manage their uutism, learning and mood disorders. My insights have illuminated pathways for individuals to thrive and realize their fullest potential. Providing more than a place to talk, we will be a team to plan and take action to be where you want to be! I bring a straightforward approach with a nonjudgmental and compassionate style with the goal to create motivation and belief in oneself. I understand the sensitivity of the topics we discuss and the importance of creating a supportive environment. In therapy, I will be an active listener and help you identify areas that need to be rebalanced and together, we will formulate solutions. Yes, you read that right because I don't just listen to your problems. I provide you effective, practical, and valuable tools to apply outside of therapy. It’s important to me that I build a strong and effective therapeutic alliance with you to facilitate client empowerment. Our approach is holistic to inform on how various factors in your life are impacting you. My hope for you is that each session with me leaves you feeling hopeful, equipped, and empowered! If this sounds like a good fit for you, then let’s connect!

I like to describe my therapeutic style as eclectic. I pull from many different modalities to find what works best for each individual client. I believe that nothing in life is one size fits all and therapy is no different. Each individual needs something different when they engage in therapy and I strive to help my clients based on their individual needs. I like to take time to get to know my patients at to work collaboratively with them to create goals that make sense for their lives and needs. I primarily work with adolescents, teens, and young adults. I love working with these age groups because there is so much change happening during this time in someone's life. I am a fairly casual person and (when appropriate) like to use humor to connect and engage. I also am a bit of a nerd and have at least a basic to moderate understanding of many of the things that the younger generations enjoy (video games, TikTok, memes, movies, tv, etc.). I love to use this to connect with my clients and to allow them to feel seen.
