I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma, chronic stress, identity exploration, life transitions, grief, and body image. I center the impact of systemic injustice, especially on women of color and the LGBTQIA+ community, and remain committed to examining my allyship.
Therapy with me supports self-exploration and clarity. I believe healing is a process of discovery—shifting, sometimes contradictory—as you align with your authentic self. In a safe, collaborative space, we’ll explore your challenges and move toward meaningful change.

A safe space to find your voice: Helping you move through pain, self-doubt, and life transitions toward healing and self-compassion.
As adults, we juggle so much — work, relationships, family, and the weight of our own expectations. It’s no wonder you might feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed at times. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, identity questions, life transitions, and the stress of caregiving or parenting.
As your therapist it is an honor to walk side by side in your journey.

I offer psychodynamic therapy to adults in the midst of any variety of problems in life, such as difficulties in relationships or work, feeling stuck in anxiety and depression, negative feelings about oneself, trauma, accepting oneself or feeling ashamed, hurting oneself or wanting to hurt oneself, and feeling demoralized about or unable to go after what one wants in life. You and I will work together to identify the things you are grappling with and figure out their causes, as well as the obstacles to change. This happens in an atmosphere of acceptance which promotes dialogue and an exploration of the self.

Grief, loss, and change challenge us to renegotiate – in our bodies, in our thoughts – earlier and similar transformations in our lives, stirring up difficult emotions, thoughts, images, and bodily experiences. In our work together, I will attend with integrity to whatever expressions of body, mind, and heart that arise. In this work that requires patience of us both, I will help you to discover and connect the elements of your own unconscious, history, desires, associations, leading to a genuine – even transformative – development of your own psychological, spiritual, and embodied personal narrative.

You may deeply desire to feel safe and connected with yourself and others but find yourself stuck in the same dating or relationship patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and unsatisfied.

I consider myself to be a trauma-informed therapist. I believe that each experience in one's life leaves an imprint on the mind & body; thus, informing how one responds to the world. There is a rhyme & reason to these responses, and none of it is about being "wrong," "damaged," or "not good enough" (words I often hear from individuals in my practice). The goal of therapy with me is to help you learn to mindfully connect with, soothe and heal these hurting parts, so that you may be able to let go, engage, and thrive in your personal and professional life. I believe healing is possible for anyone willing to work at it.

Fundamentally, we all search for meaning and our highest, most fulfilled life. Therapy can help to uncover and rectify those blockages that hold us back - the trauma that has paralyzed, the depression that has frozen, or the anxiety that has impaired. Through a holistic approach, I can help you to identify ways in which to overcome these obstacles.

We all yearn for fulfilling relationships with our partners, family, and other important people in our social circles. Sometimes we need help navigating the complexities of our connections.
