I fell in love with this work as a means to foster healing, growth, hope, and social transformation. As a therapist, I seek to honor your truth and your process. My intention is to hold a space where you feel respected, heard, and validated. A person-centered and strengths-based approach is at the heart of my practice. I draw from liberation frameworks and narrative strategies to center intersections between trauma, oppression, and identity, especially with regard to race and gender.

When you find yourself needing a divorce, and as a couple, you want to end the relationship on your terms, you can turn to me for Divorce Mediation.

Let me also serve as your independent mediator for child custody. Designed to assist an already overburdened court system it is the logical process to choose.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space where you can feel safe, seen, heard, and known. When we find ourselves in this space of compassion, we can continue the process of walking towards the healthiest versions of ourselves and release the things that keep us stuck. I desire to provide the space and support you need to embody your best self and live a life that brings you meaning and purpose. I believe that we all have potential waiting inside of us, and therapy is one way to bring our truest self to the surface.

Your capacity for change, healing, and growth, is why I do this work. In the 10 years that I have been in the field, courage is what has always shown up at my door. Courage is always what leads us to change. Courage to believe that things could be different, that life doesn't have to feel this way, that I can feel whole. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey from courage to hope.

I genuinely look forward to meeting you. I think of my role as a therapist as an honor, and one that I practice with focused sincerity and heartfelt joy. My intention as a practitioner is to provide a safe, calm, and grounded space in which you are heard and deeply respected. Person-centered counseling is the platform for my practice and it is the lens through which I work and offer interventions. In this way, you are invited to take the lead, as I trust in your ability to explore, to discover, to know, and to grow. I will follow your lead and offer help where you request it.

As a therapist, I am continually inspired by the resilience of human beings and our innate ability to overcome adversity. I believe all people have the capacity to heal, no matter what has happened to us and that you are the expert on your story. Relationships play a huge role in our well-being and are central to our existence. Healthy relationships enable us to flourish into our highest, most authentic selves. We can learn a lot about our current situation by observing our past and noticing patterns and the role of family dynamics.

Plan to think deeply, shed tears of all kinds, laugh a lot and breathe better than ever. Love is at the core of all our sessions.

I believe the most essential part of therapy is the therapeutic bond that occurs as a result of working with an individual over a period of time. There has been no greater reward in my career as a counselor than witnessing a client’s growth and helping them reach their fullest potential. I am non-judgmental in my approach and enjoy the uniqueness in individuals and the learning that takes place from working with clients from various backgrounds.

My approach is based upon mutual respect, kindness and an appreciation for all life events that have helped to shape who you are today.
