I am a bicultural psychologist who appreciates diversity and uses humanistic principles and beliefs to understand the mind and behavior, focusing on the uniqueness of each individual that is inherently good. I am passionate about helping people find or restore the condition in which they can rediscover their inherent happiness and satisfaction of life, while also leading them to personal growth by addressing their diverse experiences with caregivers or peers that may have led to emotional wounds and maladaptive behaviors.

It took a lot of courage for you to make it to this point. I imagine your journey has had fluctuating ups and downs, and now you’re seeking support to get through life’s challenges.

It can be hard to keep going when you feel stuck in your life, whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply just not knowing what to do with the thoughts that come into your head.

This is not the end for you, but a beginning to rewriting the story of your life. Let’s work together toward a plan and action steps that accomplish becoming the connected, clear, and courageous person that will be consistent with your newly-defined values.

Every car ride triggers an emotional reaction since the car accident. What used to be an enjoyable road trip is now a spiral into fight or flight – hands gripping the wheel, heart racing into a near panic. With every lane change or brake light, cars whizzing past remind you that your life is forever different after being injured. Fear of driving or riding as a passenger, called Amaxophobia, has caused you to avoid going places you once loved. Pain now scares you and you just can’t return to normalcy. If this sounds like your struggle, there is hope!

Imagine a day when anxiety doesn’t hold you back. A day when you don't feel trapped in the most painful parts of your past. When you feel close again to your partner, your friends, your family. If it’s hard to imagine, that’s ok. You're not alone. And you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I've been working with survivors of abuse and trauma since 2014, particularly with those who’ve experienced sexual abuse and assault. I’m dedicated to helping you overcome the issues that are keeping you from the life and connections you want. Let’s talk. I’ll work hard to make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely understood.

As someone who understands the unique challenges of ADHD firsthand, I specialize in providing support to high-achieving women professionals and students navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and relationship issues. With a deep empathy born from shared experiences, I offer a safe space where you can be your authentic self without the need to mask. I recognize the impact of childhood relationship patterns on our inner critic and self-expression, and I'm here to help you navigate and overcome these hurdles. Together we will work to embrace your authenticity, regulate emotions to feel more grounded, and thrive on your own terms.

You are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the past, & uncertain about the future. Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event, or you find yourself in cycles, no matter how hard you try to break them. You feel flooded with emotion, triggered by your surroundings, & exhausted from fighting through each day. As much as you try to push away upsetting thoughts & memories, they continue to creep back into your awareness. It seems like worry is following you like a shadow, spilling over into your relationships, your professional life, & even your overall health. This leaves you feeling alone as you put on a happy face for the world around you.

The decision to come for counseling is sometimes a difficult one, yet an important step towards change. It will be an honor for me to walk with you through this therapeutic JOURNEY that we try to keep PURE from judgments and labeling.

If you've been struggling with life and circumstances, you are not alone. I applaud you for seeking out help with your challenges because it means that you are brave (stepping outside of your comfort zone) and that you have made the decision to do something about your mental health (also brave). I work with many survivors of various trauma and I am trained in EMDR. If you need a good listener, somebody who is in your life to support you, somebody who is not afraid to encourage you to take control of your circumstances and mindset, and someone who can provide insight and education about mental health, I would love to meet with you!

Is your child or teenager experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide, behavioral issues, or post traumatic stress?

When you’re experiencing ongoing stress and exhaustion, your body starts to say “hey, take care of me” in many subtle ways. Oftentimes, we worry taking care of ourselves would be a loss of connection elsewhere. The truth is, repressed trauma, anxiety, depression, and/or other emotions can build tension within your life. In my practice, I help you process your current experiences and find the tools to support your mental health. As a trauma-aware therapist, I am confident to work alongside your journey! We will focus on a healing-perspective and keep your hopes for what you would like to achieve as our goal.
