I believe that valuable therapeutic work can only be done with a strong and trusting relationship between client and therapist. I work to create a safe and comfortable environment in which you can truly show up as yourself, and know that you will be accepted and seen just as you are. My approach is warm and authentic. I want therapy to be so much more than me sitting in front of you and asking “...how does that make you feel?” If you’re interested in integrating art, play, movement, music, sand tray, or spiritual practices into our work - let’s do it! We all deserve to take up space in ways that feel good.

When difficult emotions or experiences interfere with our ability to enjoy life, it can be hard to figure out what to do. Therapy begins as a conversation and progresses into a relationship, creating a foundation for exploring present and past difficulties. My therapeutic approaches are trauma informed; I use methodologies that address root cause to shift and heal old patterns, behaviors and challenges. Together we will explore areas where you might feel stuck or lost, uncover internal strengths and build coping strategies for navigating life‘s difficulties.

Feeling connected and comfortable with your therapist is an essential part of treatment and healing. Using a relational approach, I try to create an environment that helps people work on deeply personal and challenging issues. My particular areas of interest and experience include grief and loss, relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD, adolescent and parenting issues, and identity/sexuality issues. I recently published my first book on sibling loss, "Surviving Sibling Loss: The Invisible Thread that Connects Us Through Life and Death." (Available on Amazon)

You may be successful in many areas of your life, yet internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you’ve experienced relationships that have left you questioning your worth, or you find yourself repeating dynamics you don’t fully understand. Clients often come to me when they are ready to move beyond surface-level coping and create deeper, lasting change. Together, we work to help you develop a stronger sense of self-trust, break unhealthy relationship patterns, regulate overwhelming emotions, and build healthier, more secure connections.

Welcome, I'm glad you are here! I am currently accepting new clients. I work with adults and couples using a relational approach that emphasizes connection: being seen, heard, and valued for who you are AND where you are in your journey. My goal is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to share your needs and explore the factors and patterns that may be impacting your quality of life. As an immigrant, I am particularly sensitive to the many ways different people show vulnerability, and strive to consider how multicultural, interpersonal, and contextual factors inform our complex identities and experiences.

Whether it's obsessive thoughts, social discomfort, phobias, perfectionism, or distress around food, you may feel stuck in a cycle of overthinking, avoidance, and disconnection from the present moment. My goal is to help you break that cycle - so you can make choices aligned with the life you want, not the fears holding you back. Previously, I developed the nation's first ACT + Exposure Therapy (ERP) protocol for OCD at the Intensive Outpatient Program level. Now, I bring that same innovation and care to my private practice. ERP can sound a little scary, but it doesn't have to be. I'm happy to explain more about it.

Greetings! I am an existentially-oriented LMFT and Expressive Arts Therapist offering sliding-scale support for individuals navigating grief, loss, and transitions of many kinds. Through compassionate companionship and creative exploration, I aim to help clients find their footing in the tender unknown that comes with loss - be it the death of a loved one, a rupture or letting go of a relationship, a change in health, career or lifestyle, or a more "subtle" internal shift within themselves that may or may not be visible to others, but which may hold just as much weight.

Accomplishments do not always protect us from self-doubt, feelings of unworthiness, or disconnection. For many people of color, especially single Black women, these feelings can show up not only in their careers but also in dating and relationships, often tied to imposter syndrome rooted in bias, stereotypes, or lack of representation. We explore your life story, uncover patterns shaped by cultural experiences, and reframe beliefs that hold you back. In a safe, affirming space, we build confidence, set boundaries, and create healthier relationships.

My motto is 'I am a human first and a therapist second'. When I show up to work with someone I see it as two human's coming together to learn, grow, and heal. My goal is to meet you where you are at and provide a space of acceptance, non-judgement, and normalization. I do this by bringing humor, personal stories, and humanity into the space.
