You exist within cultures, systems, and contexts that impact your health, wellbeing, and sense of who you are. Gender inequality, incarceration, racial inequality, LGBTQ discrimination, medical bias, financial insecurity, housing insecurity, etc. impacts our ability to thrive. We experience trauma within these systems and are left believing it's our own fault. Our own weakness. Our own problem to deal with. You are not alone! Navigating an unjust society is exhausting and you want to do more than survive and "get by". You want to thrive and live with integrity knowing that you exist and have a right to live with dignity.

Whether you have been in counseling for years, or are reaching out for the first time, finding a counselor and starting therapy can be a daunting process.

We believe at some point everyone comes across situations that need an outside perspective—these crossroads can determine the direction we go. Everyone has that underlying intuition & if listened to, will guide them to the path they are striving towards. We work w/ all ages, most issues, situations. We specialize in many areas-as we have several therapists-some of which are: postpartum/perinatal mood disorders, depression, anxiety, couples, gender/sexuality, self-esteem, meditation, work, art therapy, men’s issues, etc. We want the best for you & everyone should have the best therapy experience!

I help individuals and couples better understand, trust, and communicate their emotions, needs, and longings. Our emotions, even the painful ones, provide us with important information about what we need and where we should be headed. At times we dismiss our own inner wisdom in an attempt to fit in, keep the peace, or protect ourselves from hurt, but we then miss out on creating the life and relationships we desire. I strongly believe that people heal and grow best in connection with others, and therapy provides the security and compassion necessary to make new discoveries about yourself that can lead to positive change.
