I offer a safe gender affirming, body acceptance, feminist, and multicultural approach in therapy that focuses on the whole person. Humanistic (whole person) psychology often refers to a therapy modality that emphasizes focus on the entire scope of the individual supporting clients in achieving a deeper understanding and connection with their true self. My ultimate goal is for the client to feel seen and heard through an empathetic, safe, and unbiased environment.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I have 16 years of combined work experience with adolescents, teens, and adults. My experience entails working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance use, and other co-occurring disorders. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives and what they need to make changes. I’m a firm believer in meeting clients at whatever stage of change they’re in, as it is imperative to holistically address the needs of each client with a person-centered approach. Services are provided in a friendly, safe, and non-judgmental environment.

How discouraging it is to realize where you are, not understand how you got here and even worry it could get worse. What would life feel like with less worry, second guessing, comparison and overwhelm? Is anxiety, depression, fear of failure, perfectionism , regret about substance use and inability to forgive yourself chronic? Could healthier boundaries and less people pleasing improve relationship satisfaction? Do you yearn to deepen your connection to others in a more authentic way to reduce isolation and loneliness?

You’re ready to feel more confident. You’re ready to figure out how to get your needs met. Most of all, you’re ready to find joy again! Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's demands, your job, or your family? You may be wondering who are you in this mix. Maybe you're a parent looking for some support. Or in a relationship that hit some rough patches. Or you're you! Looking to find relief. Are there breakdowns in communication or are you feeling unsure how to navigate what life has thrown at you? You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief.

As the parent of a struggling middle school student, or as an adult who wrestles with anxiety, depression and/or grief, you may wonder if it is ever going to get better. You may have done countless Google searches, talked to many friends and neighbors, and may have been hopeful you had found a solution, only to find out it was a temporary solution. It CAN get better and many solutions can be permanent! You need solutions that start working immediately so you can have more enjoyment than you have now.

Are you stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you desire to thrive within your personal life, at work, or at school? Want to transition into the best version of yourself?

This is the opportunity to attain peace of mind. Fulfilling your goals and meeting your needs is just around the corner. Let's get you connected with your authentic self. You have options with me. You may utilize traditional therapy or you may choose to use my specialties that are ground-breaking techniques.

I can provide a safe space where clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors freely. Regardless of cultural background or personal lifestyles, all are welcomed to explore themselves, their needs, their goals, and any concerns they may have, through a relaxed and nonjudgmental therapeutic experience. I aim to encourage, highlight, and empower those who seek clarity through difficult situations or when life appears most murky. Navigating through difficult thoughts or experiences alone may appear daunting at times. You are not alone and therapy can be that outlet to which you will be able to create your own path to healing.

Childhood comes with ups and downs for children and the parents who are figuring it out alongside them. Children show us their concerns through their behaviors. As a parent you may be unsure of what to do or say to help your child in difficult moments and sometimes your own childhood experiences may be interfering in your parenting journey. Parents come to me when they want to improve the parent-child relationship after a trauma or stressor, want help with reducing their child's anxiety, are unsure of how to manage their child's big feelings and behavioral reactions and/or want to break generational cycles in their parenting.

Has a past experience left you feeling stuck and unable to reach your full potential? Events such as a tragic accident, military combat, loss of a loved one, bullying, domestic violence, divorce, childhood abuse and living with a parent diagnosed with a mental illness are all traumatic experiences that can cause stress and imbalance in your life. I specialize in helping children feel better about themselves; parents feel empowered with the skills to raise their children; and individuals feel connected and able to find new meaning in life free of anger, anxiety, and sadness.
