Hi! I am a culturally sensitive therapist that blends different modalities to support clients towards their specific goals. I use interventions from CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic, compassionate therapy, humanistic, etc. to guide folks create greater awareness and insight into themselves. Curiosity naturally drives me to wonder and what to understand why someone is the way they are, think or feel the way that they do. If this is something you're interested in, it will be a great pleasure to guide you to develop understandings of yourself.

As a psychologist, I aim to help you heal the relationships that matter most, including how you relate to yourself. I work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages.

I sincerely believe in the power of truly being seen and understood by another human being. This is my top priority in the work I do. First and foremost I hope to hear about you and your experience, and understand where you're at in life. When we are seen by another with compassion, I believe it naturally opens up access to our own inner wisdom. I like to work in collaboration and alongside you in a way that honors your wisdom to make the right decisions that line up with your own values and beliefs. After working for over twenty years as a nurse, I decided to become a therapist because I believe our mental health is so important!
