Are you struggling with how you fit into the world we all share? Do you find that anxiety, depression, and the barriers you are facing are overwhelming? Finding acceptance and even love for our imperfections can be difficult in a world that is build for only displaying your best perfect self.

Are you constantly overthinking, feeling on edge, or emotionally exhausted—even when nothing specific seems wrong? Do you find yourself struggling with guilt from the past, shutting down when things get too overwhelming, or feeling like no one truly sees or understands you? Maybe you're navigating the weight of trauma, depression, or anxiety, and you're tired of trying to carry it alone.
Being part of a diverse community has given me a firsthand understanding of the effects of systemic oppression, generational trauma, and cultural invalidation.

There are moments when the questions get louder.
Why do I keep repeating this pattern?
Why do I feel alone even when I'm not?
Why does this relationship feel fragile when I care so much?
Sometimes anxiety, disconnection, or conflict aren't signs something is "wrong" with you — they're signals that something important is asking for attention. Therapy can be a place to slow down and face what feels uncertain, painful, or unfinished — without judgment, without rushing to fix you.
You are not a problem to be solved. You are a person in a story that is still being written.

What would you say if you could voice what was truly happening inside? Maybe you’re facing relationship challenges, loneliness, or anxiety. You might be grappling with self-doubt, self esteem issues, or struggling with family expectations. Perhaps you're seeking clarity about your past, want to feel acceptance and peace, and improve communication with those you care about. Or maybe you’re ready to be fully honest with yourself and open up to vulnerability, connection, and joy in ways you’ve never experienced before.

As a woman of faith, I believe each person is created with purpose—to contribute, experience joy, build meaningful connections, and live a fulfilling life. At times, however, we can find ourselves stuck in patterns of thinking, coping, communicating or relating that no longer serve us well.

As your therapist, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe and supported on your path of healing and self-discovery. I believe that we each have a unique story and as humans we are capable of holding many conflicting truths. We can love our lives and still experience anxiety and overwhelm from the responsibility of it all. I am here to listen and collaborate, with empathy and without judgment. Together, we can explore how therapy can help you develop deeper understanding and self-compassion, address self-limitations like perfectionism and shame, and discover deeper meaning and purpose from life.

You can feel it deep in your bones, can’t you? A desire to finally break free from the burden and exhaustion. You’re finally ready to explore, release, and grow – not in an unfamiliar office but from the comfort of your own home – alongside a therapist who understands not just the challenges you face, but the courage it takes to meet them. Imagine: Feeling light and free instead of weighed down by critical, intrusive thoughts-
Trusting yourself to make intentional choices instead of avoiding decisions- Staying centered in the present moment instead of reliving the past- Embracing new relationships instead of guarding old wounds.

As a holistic psychotherapist and healer, I have 30 years of experience working with adults who have suffered trauma (acute and chronic), and childhood abuse of all kinds.

I want to recognize the courage it has taken you to begin the search for counseling as you face something unsettling that is occurring in your life or the life of a loved one. Maybe you find yourself navigating a difficult relationship or unexpected tragedy. Maybe you feel mired in a loss of meaning or a deep uncontrollable fear. I would consider it a privilege to journey together with you. I believe that in the relationship that we form together we can access your wisdom and courage, and mobilize your resilience and resources in order for you to move towards a fuller, richer life.

I aim to provide a safe space for my clients so that they may experience greater personal growth, healing, and insight. You may be trying to face your emotional scars alone. Yet together, we can explore these topics that may be difficult for you. I want to encourage your growth in self-compassion and self-worth as we work to reframe your unfavorable coping mechanisms. Life is a journey with plenty of obstacles to overcome, yet taking this step to live differently, with more hope, and to live more authentically, is worthwhile.

We all have the ability to change, learn and grow. We are not born with skills, throughout our life we gain many coping mechanisms, but some of those are born out of survival, fear or toxic family dynamics and might make it challenging to navigate in relationships or during life’s transitions. For many this leads to experiencing a variety of symptoms. Life can also throw us some big curveballs that feel impossible to adjust to. I believe with assistance anyone can process the past, heal, build coping skills and cultivate a mindset that is needed to create a life that is enjoyable. I utilize DBT and EMDR to aid you in your journey.

You live with contradictions that don’t make sense – feeling flooded with emotion one moment and completely numb the next. You try to function, but part of you feels detached from the world and even from yourself. Memories come in fragments, emotions feel too big to handle, and despite years of effort, the pain still feels lodged deep inside. You hear confusing terms like “complex trauma,” “PTSD,” or “depersonalization,” but they don’t help you “move on.” You want relief that actually lasts – not another coping skill or surface-level fix, but real healing that reaches the roots of your trauma and restores your sense of wholeness.

Trauma, burnout, and significant life transitions can leave us feeling anxious and disconnected from the world around us. If you're struggling with these feelings, know you are not alone. As your counselor, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can reflect on your experiences, recognize recurring patterns, and develop practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges and create a more fulfilling life.
