Let's face it, you've been in survival mode for far too long. You're tired of letting intense emotions and past hurts get in the way of moving forward, and you’re ready to take action to build a life worth living. I can help! I'm passionate about working with clients struggling with anxiety, big life changes, emotional intensity, attachment wounds, and relational trauma. I'm a biracial, neurodivergent affirming provider with both lived and professional experience and an LGBTQ+ inclusive therapist. My goal is to help you discover your own power to learn, heal, and grow from adversity in order to find peace, connection, and purpose.
I lead sessions with wit, warmth, humor and radical authenticity through a social justice lens. Sessions are collaborative, conversational, and action-oriented—equal parts depth and practical skills. I’m compassionate, candid, growth-focused, and not afraid to challenge you with care, honesty, and a little sass. Swearing and laughter are always welcome.
Beginning any new relationship, whether personal or professional, can be nervewracking. Trust me, I've been on both sides of the couch - both as a therapist as well as a client. We all have our "stuff" and I know how important it is to find a therapist who hears you and "gets it." I offer a brief 15-minute consultation call to see if we're a good fit.

I support people who experience emotions intensely and feel ready to break out of painful cycles — whether those patterns come from past relationships, family dynamics, trauma, or survival strategies that once made sense but now feel limiting. My work focuses on helping clients understand themselves with compassion, build practical coping skills, and create more intentional, connected lives.
