People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner. I don’t try and control a sunset.” I watch with awe as it unfolds (Rogers, 1980). In my therapeutic work over the past 15 years I have been uniquely fortunate to watch as potential and destiny unfolds for clients. In my clinical roles I fully espouse a person-centered strength-based focus and approach with clients, to the end of collaborative problem solving with your concerns and goals at the heart of our work together.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of society's expectations while trying to figure out who you really are? Maybe you’re a person of color, LGBTQIA+, first-gen, or curious about your intersecting identities, and the mix of anxiety, depression, life transitions, or chronic stress leaves you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. You might be questioning your identity, navigating relationships, using substances to cope, or simply longing for a space where all your layers are welcomed and celebrated.

As the oldest child and grandchild in my family, I know firsthand the pressure and pain that can come from being seen as “the strong one.” That lived experience—combined with two decades of clinical work—shapes how I show up for every client.
I’ve worked in community centers, hospitals, schools, and now, in my own practice, with people of all ages and identities. Over the years, I’ve realized that my heart lies in supporting individuals and couples who are committed to their healing—even when it’s hard.

I offer different types of therapeutic avenues to explore, rework, release and address challenges old or new. We decide the timetable and scope of therapy together whether very focused change is desired or more in depth reworking is wanted. Some people also use therapy to maintain positive gains and have a unique place to speak/ find the truth in a safe, trusting environment. The focus is on enhancing and building on strengths to realize potential based on needs. I use brainspotting, polyvagal informed therapy (Unyte/ILS listening system) and IFS(Internal Family Systems) to deeply and often more rapidly release blocked/frozen issues

I believe that each client has unique concerns and issues that should be focused upon one at a time. My role is to help you explore your concerns/issues and build new realities based upon your strengths. I view counseling as a collaborative process whereby the achievement of mutually defined counseling goals is accomplished through commitment and practice. Counseling can help you gain personal insight and lead you to better understanding of yourself and others. As with any intervention, there are both benefits and risk, as often progress is gradual. Your active involvement is essential to gain maximum benefits from your sessions.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and substance use concerns. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them and want to better understand themselves—not just manage symptoms. Together, we explore the experiences, beliefs, and emotions that have shaped those patterns while building practical skills that support lasting change, resilience, and a greater sense of fulfillment.

As a professional counselor I value the uniqness of each person and in the strength and creativity of the human spirit. Within the counseling relationship is a safe place to define areas for growth, vent feelings, explore the many possibilities, find encouragement and move toward peacefulness. My approach to counseling is gentle and encouraging, although I can be direct when it is helpful. I will support without judging and am respectful of individual and/or cultural differences. My approach draws on a number of theoretical orientations that best suit the group or individual needs.
