I work with adults primarily on issues related to trauma. Trauma often involves lack of control over a situation, so as part of the work, I help my clients regain their sense of power and choice in our sessions. Safety, non-judgement, and kindness are valued in my practice as the foundations of the therapeutic work, and I encourage open communication about the client’s experience with therapy. I offer a flexible approach to counseling because I believe that what works for some of my clients may not work for others, and we learn what that looks like as we work together.

Something isn't working in your relationship and you're not sure what the solution is. Maybe it's arguments about anything and everything, the aftermath of infidelity, or a growing disconnection. Most of us aren't taught how to navigate adult relationships which can leave us floundering trying to get it right. While this can feel hopeless at times, I believe in our ability to learn, grow, connect, and change. Together, we start with organizing what you're experiencing, we deepen our understanding of it, and ultimately we begin to walk toward a more peaceful, empowered, and authentic life.

My passion lies in working with both youth and adults alike and believe that counseling offers an opportunity to reflect on the current challenges that you may be experiencing in life, and working together with you on moving forward. In particular I have a heart and passion for working with youth and young adults of color. I believe that racial identity is linked to every aspect of daily lives for people of color and often leads to ongoing symptoms of stress and anxiety. I love working with individuals of all races and ethnicities, including folks who identify as children of immigrants.

Do you move through life appearing calm and capable, yet inside there’s a quiet ache, a sense that no matter how much you accomplish, peace remains just out of reach? Do the echoes of childhood pain, anxiety, perfectionism, and shame whisper that you must always do more, be more? Does rest feel undeserved, joy slips away too quickly, and the old stories of not being enough still shape how you move through the world? Maybe a recent life change such as a move, a new job, or divorce have activated old wounds and you find yourself more depressed, anxious, and isolated in your own mind?

Life is about connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. Unfortunately, not all of us were raised in ways that makes it easy to make those connections, leaving us feeling distant, numb, anxious, confused, or frustrated. Therapy provides the space for you to say what you really think and feel, in confidence, and without the fear of judgment. It’s the holding of this space, and the development of different life-skills that allows us to build the connections you're looking for in your life.

I come alongside adults and couples who are carrying stories of heartache, confusion, or disconnection—whether from themselves, from others, or from God. They may feel weighed down by unresolved pain, trauma, or loss, or struggle with patterns in relationships that leave them feeling unseen or misunderstood. Some are seeking a place to explore the integration of faith and mental health, others are wrestling with questions of identity, belonging, or hope. What they long for most is a safe place to be fully known, where their story is honored, their pain is not minimized, and lasting change feels possible.

There are times in life when the familiar stops making sense—when roles shift, identities blur, and unresolved pain rises to the surface. You may find yourself asking: Who am I now? How did I get here? What truly matters going forward?
This work isn’t about quick fixes or just managing symptoms. It’s about honest, collaborative exploration—making space for what’s been buried, and supporting you in reclaiming clarity, choice, a more authentic way of living and reclaiming authorship of your story.

I offer in-person, telehealth, and walk-and-talk therapy options for adults, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Together, we cultivate awareness, learn practical strategies, build psychological flexibility, and take purposeful action guided by your values. For sleep concerns, I also provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is considered a proven first line treatment for Insomnia.

My main priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and inviting space to explore whatever it is that brought you to therapy. Your life, relationships, and experiences make you unique and it is my privilege to be able to walk alongside you in your journey. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I will meet you wherever you are at in your process of self-awareness and growth.

Couples in early seasons of marriage often arrive to therapy holding a lot of love for each other, and for that reason, feel confused and overwhelmed by the intensifying conflict, lack of connection in intimacy, or difficulty adjusting to life’s changes as they get married, change jobs, have kids, move, etc. Couples I work with want to feel more connected and confident about their ability to connect through all of life’s seasons. I will work with you to: improve your communication skills; understand your conflict & build skills to address it; and understand the underlying stories & beliefs impacting how you interact with each other.
