Waitlist for new clients
As a therapist and social worker, I believe our experiences shape us individually and collectively, and that healing within ourselves can strengthen our relationships and communities. With a social-justice approach centering inclusivity, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism, our work is guided toward growth that honors both your inner life and your connection to the greater whole. My hope for our time together is to collaboratively discover your most authentic self, allowing the core of who you are to guide your healing journey. If you are seeking personal, communal, and spiritual growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

My goal is to offer a calm and compassionate environment where you can feel truly heard, supported, and understood—without judgment. I work with children, teens, and adults who may be facing emotional struggles, low self-esteem, or relational difficulties. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and work toward restoring balance, confidence, and self-trust.

Psychologist, PsyD

If you’re looking for a therapist who just nods, smiles politely, and asks “How does that make you feel?” while you vent for an hour with zero direction… I’m not your guy. I’m not here to waste your time or let you walk away empty-handed. I’m direct. I’m engaged. I give clear feedback and practical strategies. If you want real change, not just a sounding board, then we’ll be a great fit. Effective therapy requires engagement, consistency & follow-through. Because here’s the truth: transformation happens through three things: clarity, specificity, and your consistent effort. Therapy is a strategic investment to help you move forward.
