As we age we have many challenges and transitions which affect us - some positive and some negative. What we do with these transitions are the key to finding joy in our life. Most of the time we are completely capable of navigating these stressors with our own personal resources. Sometimes a little extra support is required: whether it is obtaining insight, learning new behaviors or just having a skilled listener. My various skills learned over thirty years can do that. I can provide the support and skills that are needed.

I am an eclectic, strength-based clinician committed to meeting you where you are and creating a safe space to explore what’s working for you, what you want to change, and what that change might look like. I’m passionate about supporting people struggling with grief. Grief is a natural reaction to loss, whether that be death or a life transition. Even positive losses can produce grief. Grief is a process, and I’m happy to sit with you and help you navigate your way. I welcome the opportunity to be curious with you about the obstacles blocking your goals. Together, we’ll come up with a plan to help you get where you want to be.

I work with high-functioning young adults and professionals who are used to “holding it together” but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck beneath the surface. Many struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, or relational trauma and find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, or shutting down. I also work with BIPOC clients navigating identity, cultural expectations, and the pressure to always be strong. If you’re self-aware but feel like insight alone hasn’t created change, you’ll likely feel understood in this space.

I help adults, young adults, and teens who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward in their lives and relationships. Many of my clients come to me during times of stress or transition—questioning old patterns, feeling misunderstood, or struggling to communicate what they really need. My approach is warm, steady, and practical. I help you slow down, understand what’s actually happening underneath your reactions, and build the confidence and emotional grounding to move through life with more clarity and ease.

It can be difficult to ask for help, so let me start by congratulating you by taking the first steps in addressing your happiness and mental health. Your emotional health is very important and has an impact on your overall well-being. For far too long, stigma and fear of judgement has prevented people (especially people of color) from engaging in MH therapy.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and tired to the point that simple tasks like showering, eating, and leaving the house are enough to make you jump back in bed, please reach out. I know how that feels. I also know how amazing it feels to get through difficult periods in life. Getting better isn't always easy, but I've found that with the right support, it IS possible. It takes strength to admit that you are struggling so I truly mean it when I say "Great job at taking the first step!" You do NOT have to do this alone. I welcome the opportunity to support you with whatever your struggles may be.

So you've had enough. You've had enough of people acting like you don't have a life of your own, your issues to worry about, your stress- because they expect you to solve their problems. When you've been drowning in work and stress, they give you a high five instead of a life vest. You're not looking for anyone to save you; you want a break, some appreciation, and maybe even some peace. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Have you ever felt so down, worried, or confused that it left you feeling stuck, trapped, helpless or out of control? Or have you ever felt lost and didn't know what to do or where to go? Have you ever felt that you couldn't talk to anyone or share what you were really feeling or thinking? Relationships, families, work, responsibilities, transitions, well in a sense, life itself, can be really difficult to navigate sometimes especially without support, tools or skills to help you through, or a safe person and space to make sense of it all.
