It’s easy to look "fine" while feeling exhausted or disconnected. If you’re navigating a personal crossroads, burnout, or strained relationships, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide a therapy space that is as warm and relatable as it is results-oriented, offering Individual, Couples, and Group therapy to help you move from "surviving" to thriving. I practice with cultural humility, honoring you as the expert of your lived identity. I am a lifelong learner committed to acknowledging power imbalances. We won’t simply linger on the 'why' of the past—we will actively weave the 'how' into the future you’re ready to build.

We develop strategies that keep us safe, and sometimes we slip into patterns that no longer serve us. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and insomnia, and my strength is in creating a warm, non-judgmental space to safely explore your emotions, thoughts, and values in a fresh way. I will work with you to understand your experiences, develop new coping strategies, and help you move toward the life you want with greater confidence and clarity. I am bilingual in ASL and English and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Words can be difficult some days, especially when they are locked in our minds. Expressing oneself effectively can be challenging. Thoughts may be unclear, feelings hard to identify, or needs tough to articulate. I believe people possess inner wisdom and the ability to navigate these situations with greater clarity. My role is to guide people with a strengths-based approach. Together, we explore their inner world, develop practical coping strategies, and build their ability to manage psychological entropy. Clients can expect to feel empowered, gain insights, and learn skills for a balanced and fulfilling life.

I have extensive training in ERP for treating OCD and training in trauma informed therapy.
Life is hard enough without obsessing over whether or not you ran someone over with your car on the way home from work (and sometimes driving back to check!) or if a headache is actually a brain tumor (and then asking chatGPT for the symptoms.) These thoughts may actually be anxiety or even OCD. We can work together to learn to identify them and find ways to manage or even stop them completely.
I also specialize in working with young adults who are in dealing with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Young adults experience so many major life transitions that can often exacerbate mood symptoms and open up old wounds.
