I’m glad you have made it here. Searching for the right therapist is never easy but taking this step means you’re ready for change in your life. My work as a therapist revolves around helping you feel whole again; whether that means helping you reconnect to your authentic self, break old patterns, improve relationships, or build healthier coping tools. Most of my client’s come to me because something in their life feels off. They’ve done everything they’re “supposed to do” but they’re finding difficulty in enjoying their relationships (romantic, friends, family), jobs, life transitions, and/or how they feel about themselves.

You may be feeling that the strands of your life are unraveling and you want to make sense of it all. My private practice, Tapestry Therapy, is founded upon the belief that your life is like a tapestry, consisting of strands of stories that have been woven together to make one larger story. Our story is part of the larger tapestry of our family, race, culture, country and world. Through the work of therapy, we come to understand our stories and be empowered to decide how we will write future chapters. I utilize process therapy and Lifespan Integration, which is a somatic therapy, to help my clients reach their goals.
