I am here for you and with you. You are many things to many people in your life. You are a partner, parent, grandparent, friend, professional, neighbor, but who are you to yourself? How are you taking care of you? Are you taking time for yourself, without guilt, to work towards your personal, emotional, physical, psychological, and professional goals? As we navigate our experiences and choices in life, we often carry complex feelings and unresolved baggage. These feelings become unbearable at times. Fear, doubt, insecurities, and worry can take a hold of us, resulting in us neglecting ourselves and repeating the same patterns

Congratulations on taking the first step towards prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing. Finding the right provider is paramount to your therapeutic success. In any professional relationship, it is crucial to find "your person". Think about your hair stylist or barber, you wouldn't go to just anyone; the same idea applies for your mental health providers. I feel honored to be a part of the healing process that comes along with helping my clients reach their full potential. My ideal client is someone who is motivated to dive deep into self-discovery with my guidance.

I enjoy using Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a trauma-focused perspective to help you learn and use tools to make life better.
If you or your family members are struggling with overwhelming emotions, uncontrollable behaviors, or confusion about how to make life better, therapy is a tool to help accomplish what seems impossible. Whether you need help for yourself or your child, I offer compassionate, non-judgmental, care to empower, heal, and move forward effectively. Many of the families I serve have children experiencing Baker Acts, severe emotional and behavioral dysregulation, and intense trauma histories. I am well-versed in LGBTQIA+ concerns and have experience writing letters of recommendation for appropriate healthcare needs.

Your story is important, and you deserve to be heard. Whether you’re carrying the weight of past trauma, struggling with life’s challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to face it on your own. Healing is not about erasing the past but about leaning into your resilience, honoring the strength that has carried you this far, and creating space for growth and self-compassion. It’s about shifting from survival to healing, from enduring to truly living.

My ideal clients are those navigating anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy struggles, sexual health concerns, and trauma-related symptoms. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, like their mind is constantly racing or their heart is pounding too fast. People who find themselves fighting, disagreeing, or feeling irritated with loved ones more often than they’d like. People who feel disconnected from their sexual selves, whether they’ve lost interest in sex, want to want it again, or feel unsure about what’s changed. And people whose past experiences continue to shape how safe, grounded, or present they feel today.
