To everything there is a season and I am here to walk with you in whichever season that is... I believe that the therapy room is a sacred place for each person to learn, process and grow at their own pace. Most of my work is centered around children using non-directive play therapy, but I have a heart for all individuals or families seeking help through anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, post traumatic stress disorder, and their racial identity. I am eager to join you in the trenches and give you a safe space to process through the things that may be too heavy to hold alone.

Others feel the weight of racial identity, social expectations, or peer pressure in ways that leave them feeling isolated or misunderstood.
We’ll work together to grow your self-acceptance and build upon inherent abilities to quiet the negative thoughts that bring upon feelings of self-doubt. I draw from Psychodynamic and narrative therapy—while also using play, humor, art, and the outdoors to support growth in meaningful ways.

My expertise includes relationship issues, betrayal trauma, racial identity issues, and mood disorders.
I adhere to the philosophy that relationships are at the core of the human experience, yet there are times when healing can't be done alone. My work is fundamentally relational. I help people overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, with an understanding that these issues can overlap or involve additional problems impacting other areas of life. I am warm, relatable, active, and flexible, balancing exploratory work with directness. I have over 15 years of experience with a diverse body of clients. I divide my time between clinical work, teaching, and research.

Are you are stuck in a job you hate, aren’t sure if you should stay in your current relationship, or just feel in a “funk” from time to time? If so, therapy is for you. I use a solution-focused approach to help you find the answers you are looking for. I enjoy working with adults (and older teens) who can’t quite figure out how to live their best lives. I specialize in couples – before marriage, when you still have stars in your eyes, after marriage when things are a bit harder than you thought they’d be, and towards the potential end of marriage, when you need to make the tough decision to either stay together or not.

My approach to counseling is to try and help you uncover unconscious ways of behaving that are interfering with healthy living. I also attempt to help you understand how your early relationships can affect your current way of relating with others. My goal is to assist you in making conscious, healthy, and life affirming choices and to do this within the safety of the therapeutic relationship.

You’re overwhelmed with expectations and responsibilities. Though you appear to “have it all together,” that doesn’t match how you feel. Having others rely on you is a great compliment, but it also brings heavy pressure. You desperately want change but are afraid of what others will think, if you will be judged or if you will lose relationships. Who will you be if you are different from who you are now? There’s only one answer…YOURSELF; the person you truly are. Learn to set boundaries, invest in your self-awareness, and live by your values. Learn how to take care of yourself & still take care of your responsibilities. (Yes you can)

In my work, I center the voices of those with minoritized/oppressed identities (e.g., Black people, People of Color, LGBTQIA+, trans, gender-expansive people, and people in nontraditional relationship configurations). I have extensive experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration (ethnic, racial, gender, and/or sexual identity), intersectionality, PTSD & Trauma, racial & oppression-based traumatic stress, and relationship concerns. I am also comfortable integrating religion/spirituality into our therapeutic work. My therapeutic sweet-spot is working with Q+BIPOC individuals and couples.

Are you navigating life with a chronic illness, disability, ADHD, or family challenges? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or cultural stressors? You don’t have to do it alone.
My work is shaped by both my professional background as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and my lived experience as a biracial woman with roots in an immigrant family. I specialize in supporting adults and young adults living with chronic conditions, neurodivergence (including ADHD), and identity-related stress, particularly within the South Asian community.

My ideal client is a child, adolescent, or young adult facing challenges like emotional regulation, self-esteem, or social skills, often tied to past experiences like trauma or adoption. Everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to explore their true self, and my goal as a therapist is to build trusting relationships where healing can grow. I’m passionate about helping clients strengthen confidence and social skills through self-discovery. Using art, games, and conversation, I create a fun, active environment that fosters growth, resilience, and meaningful progress toward their goals.

As a therapist, I seek to provide the sort of mental health services that I would want available to my father, my brother, and even myself. As a Black man, I understand the unique experiences of Black men in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress. I also recognize that Black men are diverse and not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black men deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black men’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of the mental health needs of Black men.

As a Black, queer, trans person, I intimately understand how those with marginalized identities are often silenced and made to feel invisible. In my practice, I prioritize creating a space where your voice is centered and valued. I believe that true healing and growth come when we reconnect with ourselves and with others in meaningful ways, and I strive to create an environment where you can fully show up as yourself.
