Please note: I don't see minors, couples, or families. I’m passionate about collaborating with people who’ve been underserved. I’ve worked for over 20 years with people of diverse races, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, gender identities, partnership and family structures, religions, philosophies, occupations, and lifestyles. I’m especially effective with clients who crave depth, insight, and a tailored process. I work best with those who find satisfaction in meaningful, unconventional experiences. I love working with people who feel different!
I support adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, and personal growth. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to you. We may work through mindfulness, narrative, graduated exposure, and insight-building to support clarity, balance, and healing.
My passion is to collaborate in a thoughtful, personalized therapeutic process. I offer sessions in person or via telehealth and am currently accepting new clients on a limited basis, depending on availability and provider agreements.

I'm effective at addressing things other therapists may miss. From the beginning, I partner with you, first evaluating your needs using a multidimensional assessment and we create your treatment plan. I work in systems and trauma therapy, so you feel validated and find self regulation. From there, we co create a healing narrative to make deep, sustainable change.
