Change can be scary. And so can be staying the same. I am inspired every day by the courage clients have to choose to try to do something differently or work towards healing hurt parts of themselves. I believe in the power of therapy to create sustainable change and I am honored to be a part of a client's healing process.

Secure, confident individuals are not born, but created. Trauma, relationship struggles, and major life changes can disrupt our sense of stability and connection. Often, we may find ourselves repeating patterns we don't fully understand - in our relationships, our families, and within ourselves. What once helped us survive may now be creating isolation, conflict, or emotional overwhelm.

Hello, welcome! Looking for a therapist is vulnerable, but you are here now for a reason. Maybe today is the day to break a cycle, take a next step - I hope to be part of that journey. I assure you I do more than just listen - together we will work to strengthen relationships, heal past wounds, and create concrete steps toward a full life.
I believe my clients are naturally resilient and therapy is just a tool to learn skills, understand emotions, and create meaning in our lives. As your therapist I will empower you to accept yourself both as you are today and as you grow into the version of yourself you've been waiting for.

I am currently exploring EMDR/ART, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), In-depth Trauma-Focused Therapy, & Crisis Management.
Do you need trustworthy support? Do you hope to find balance, process your past/present, or learn ways of coping?
I support individuals, primarily young/middle-aged adults and teens, navigating mood disorders, suicidal ideation, complex trauma, and anxiety/depression. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals from marginalized communities, including Black/African American identities, those involved in the criminal justice system, and neurodivergent populations (Autism/Down Syndrome). I have strong clinical interest in supporting those experiencing self-harm, higher acuity, and personality struggles.

Healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and accepted for who we are. When such a fundamental need goes unmet—of course, we feel adrift and disconnected, both from ourselves and from the world around us. We fall out of touch with our intuition and our bodies and feel immobilized. If you’re seeking help, you’re already doing the work. My role is to help you continue to strengthen that resilience and wisdom already within you.

Do you feel hopelessly pulled in different directions? Part of you wants change, while another part feels stuck, critical, or overwhelmed? You might even struggle with intense emotions, inner conflict, people-pleasing, shame, or patterns that don’t make logical sense - patterns that feel impossible to shift. Your anxiety, depression, and stress have reached a point where they are affecting your relationships, work, and/or pleasure, but you don't know where to begin in your healing.

Do you spend too much time thinking about the past? Do you experience so much anxiety that it interferes with your daily life? You're not alone. Many of my clients come to me struggling with trauma and anxiety. Others are frozen by depression. You may feel shame or guilt about what you've been through. I know that feeling can overwhelm you and make it hard just to get out of bed each day. I also know that with the right help, you can feel better. Once my clients are able to make peace with the past, they experience freedom and relief. By processing trauma using brain-body approaches, they can start living again.

You're at an age that you thought would have at least some of your dreams come together, instead you're settling for almost getting there. Stuck, trapped, one step forward but two steps back are the feelings you try to push away or ignore. Usually in unhelpful ways. This isn't the the person your younger self thought you would be. The good news is you know you're not done working towards the future you that feels fulfilled.

My ideal client feels stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns and wants to understand why they keep repeating. They often feel overwhelmed, hurt, or weighed down by the past and are looking for relief and clarity. I offer a warm, approachable telehealth space where clients feel comfortable opening up. Together, we identify patterns, build self-awareness, and explore what’s in their control. With insight, accountability, and humor, I help clients let go of what isn’t serving them and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals, heal, and restore their mental health and relationships. While I have a special place in my heart for working with children and helping them navigate life’s challenges through play therapy, I equally enjoy supporting adults on their unique journeys toward healing and growth. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, whether I’m working with a child overcoming emotional difficulties or an adult navigating trauma, anxiety, or relationship concerns.
