I am a graduate-level Mental Health Intern under clinical supervision. My passion is to assist people challenged by trauma, PTSD, and neurodivergence to heal and flourish in their lives. As a woman of color and daughter of immigrants, I understand the complexity of balancing two sets of cultural norms while trying to define your own identity between them. My primary focus is working with women of color and first- and second-generation immigrants. However, I welcome people of all demographics to collaborate with me to find empowerment and peace.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming or confusing due to current struggles or past issues that affect the present day. My passion is to help people find hope, healing, restoration, and strength as they walk through life and the difficulties they encounter. I do this by coming alongside clients with a collaborative approach to address their needs and concerns and accomplish their goals.

I believe therapy is about a therapist and a client collaborating together to address mental health issues and or deal with life problems. I believe the client (You) is the expert about themselves concerning strengths, weaknesses, and issues of concern. I believe it is my purpose as a therapist to build a therapeutic relationship which supports the development of your insights, and life skills; including the identification of strengths, and support systems that may aid in the reduction of negative symptoms and improve quality. I do tele-health and I am hoping to be in person by summer 2023 and joined by Mason my therapy dog.

I am now accepting new clients. Email is best for quicker response. Life is a series of steps we take, shifting from one level to another, but this journey is not always lateral or forward-moving. This is true throughout our lives, through transitions of all kinds, whether they be emotional, spiritual, mental, or physical in nature. It can be surprising and daunting when life's blueprints don't unfold as planned, and we all need help sometimes to connect with our authentic selves and build flexibility to throw out the old and build anew. Let me help you with the next step.

Are you facing major life transitions, feel overhelmed by stress, strained intimate relationships or significant losses? Together we will collaborate to face current challenges and past issues.

I use a variety of interventions striving to find the best fit for each client and relaying on our work together to facilitate meaningful change.

I am acutely aware of how many people are suffering deeply now – people who are strong, intelligent, and creative, and yet find themselves struggling within their lives and disbelieving in themselves. Many of our psychological and emotional problems have been worsened over time by systemic and political practices, policies and institutions which also affect us spiritually. Because these systems aren’t self-aware, they don’t change quickly, and since they are part of the cause of our problems, they can’t help us heal. I listen to understand how to heal.

I have been involved in research, assessment and treatment of AD/HD for the past 25 years. Individuals with AD/HD usually experience difficulty with focus and concentration. However, they also experience difficulties with procrastination, time management, planning, organizing, and completing projects at home, work and/or in school. There may also be difficulties with delaying gratification, impulse control, memory, and feelings of restlessness. These symptoms impact work, school, friendships, family, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. An accurate assessment of AD/HD is an important step toward getting help.

I believe in the value and worth of each human being and that each one of us has the ability to heal and master new skills throughout the life span.

My practice is built around providing individual therapy and EEG Neurofeedback to adults and adolescents.

I provide psychological assessment of difficult to treat cases for diagnostic clarification to ensure the treatment provided adequately target the issues presented.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Therapy can be challenging, but can also be deeply satisfying & transformative when you find the right match with someone you trust, and who brings out the best in you. As your therapist, my aim is to help you find greater happiness in your self, your life and your relationships. I believe that the way we think, feel and behave are intertwined, and often a change in just one of these areas can ripple into the others. I provide support for change, both big & small, with compassion, humor & non-judgmental positive regard.

Life is a gift and challenge! Those ways of living you once created or were taught may no longer be beneficial. Releasing old hurts allows room for change. We all get stuck at times! Compassionate psychotherapy can be the first step toward imagining new possibilities. Together we explore "old" ways that may inhibit your abilities to befriend yourself and create positive connection with others. Awareness, , Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, and other offerings can help you identify next steps and support your intentions for change. At root, healing is courage, self empowerment and engaging with the wise resources at your center.

Trauma can be a single event incident, childhood wounds from neglect and/or abuse, religious trauma, gender identity/LGBTQIA+ trauma and more. Those who suffer from trauma often struggle to control emotions, lack self-regulation, and face difficulties in relationships with communication and boundaries setting. I am a gender affirming therapist and strong supporter of LGBTQIA+.
