“Life be life-ing.” Let’s be real, life can throw a lot at us. Between everything, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by sadness, anxiety, or the weight of old wounds that haven’t fully healed. Sometimes those experiences leave us feeling angry, bitter, or thinking things like “I’m not good enough,” or “Something’s wrong with me.” As a trauma-informed therapist, I use a blend of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and various other modalities to help you unpack those thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll work to shift those limiting beliefs, build healthier coping tools, and help you reconnect with your most confident, grounded self.
I work with adults (18+) navigating low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, codependency, grief, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I also have a special focus on multicultural counseling and identity development.
I know reaching out for help isn’t easy, but the fact that you’re here means you’ve already taken a brave first step. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s explore what healing can look like for you in a safe, affirming, and collaborative space. Consider scheduling a free 15-minute phone consultation, I’d love to connect and see how we can start!

I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and trauma tied to childhood, relationships, family, or religion. I also support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities using a regulation and skill-building approach. My initial goal is to build genuine, trusting connections—and many clients notice positive changes within the first few sessions.
