Somewhere along the way, you lost the passion you had for each other and now you're just roommates going through the motions.

You're not ready to give up on what you've built together but you can't go on with the way things are either. You want to get unstuck and start to move forward. I can help.

Whatever brings you into the counseling space, my interest is in working toward your personal goals and utilizing your strengths to achieve them. I approach clients from the perspective of Relational Cultural Theory. This means I consider how your social environment has shaped who you are, and the ways in which this context has presented benefits and challenges. This approach also explores how you feel connected to the people in your life, which might include experiences of disconnection or rupture.

Our painful experiences and the conditions of our society often push us to disconnect from our authentic selves, relationships, communities, and the world around us. I view healing as a process of reconnection. In our work together, we will aim to make sense of your story, explore all the parts of you that make you who you are, and work through places where you feel stuck. Through this process, my hope is that you can live your life with more agency and authenticity, more skills and tools to manage the challenges, and more capacity to experience ease, connection, and the full range of human emotions.

According to the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke, "The only journey is the journey within." We all need help sometimes and we all have room to grow. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, whether it is to address a severe mental illness, to receive support through a rough season of life, or to gain greater self-knowledge and unleash your full potential. My professional interests include psychoses, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, narcissistic abuse, and obesity.

When we're struggling with our emotions, I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is to find someone with whom we can clarify our thoughts and feelings privately and without judgment. Examining what's going on inside us and working through internal conflicts and confusion is how we overcome whatever may be holding us back. By reaching out, you're taking the first steps toward this goal.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I create a space where healing and growth are rooted in authenticity, representation, and respect. I specialize in working with BIPOC individuals, couples, and families, and I’m deeply committed to offering care that reflects the realities of our lived experiences.
The need for more minority representation in mental health care fueled my therapy journey. Too often, BIPOC clients struggle to find providers who understand the complexities of culture, identity, and systemic oppression. I bring a culturally responsive approach to therapy that honors your full self and the context you live in.

Living in our world can often feel dark and demoralizing as we’re exposed to forces that present daunting challenges to integral aspects of who we are. My therapeutic approach is rooted in systems thinking, addressing the interconnected dynamics of one’s inner world, the family system, interpersonal relationships, societal structures, and nature itself.
“All that you touch you change. All that you change changes you. The only lasting truth is change.” Octavia Butler.

Whether these struggles are related to current circumstances or rooted in trauma and other past issues, I can help. I work with individuals and couples to process painful experiences, change limiting thought patterns and faulty beliefs, better manage emotions, and repair relationships.

Is stress, anxiety, or the demands of daily life leaving you feeling stuck or constantly on edge? Maybe you find yourself trapped in reactive cycles of irritability, or feeling unsure of how to manage anxiety that won’t seem to let up. Are you in the middle of a life transition, grieving a loss, or carrying the weight of unresolved past experiences? If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone—many people face these challenges, even though we don’t talk about them enough. With almost 20 years of diverse experience, I’ve learned one universal truth: while our situations may differ, we all experience suffering.
