I also provide therapy in American Sign Language to the deaf/hard of hearing community as a nationally certified ASL Interpreter specializing in medical and mental health.
All of us yearn for a sense of belonging, and it is human to feel lonely due to issues we may be facing in life. Feeling alone can have a detrimental impact not only to our mental/emotional health, but also physical health. I'm here to support you in your mental health journey and working towards a better quality of life. I strive for social justice and am attuned to the impacts and influences of society and culture. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and harm reduction lens, meaning I’m sensitive to the past experiences that have shaped you into who you are today while working in a collaborative approach.

You're an entrepreneur, executive, medical professional, or tech leader who knows what needs to happen next. But you find yourself overthinking decisions, overworking for control, or choosing safety over alignment. You're dealing with execution paralysis, decision fatigue, burnout, imposter syndrome, or fear-based patterns despite your success. Productivity systems and mindset work haven't addressed what's actually driving this. You want to make decisions from alignment rather than fear, lead without fighting yourself, and perform at your best without burning out.

I provide a compassionate space where your experiences are honored and together we’ll build the tools to release doubt, embrace confidence, and step into the life you deserve fully and unapologetically.

My ideal client is you! who is looking for resolutions, answers, and revelations. Someone, that is trying to better themselves and their realities by facing past traumas and present stressors and having hope that their future can be as bright as they believe. An ideal client is someone who may not have ever experienced therapy before. They may be nervous about the process but still hold on to a small sliver of hope inside them that they, too, can benefit from therapy. I am deeply committed to partnering with kids, individuals, and couples to help them reach their fullest potential and gaining new insights of themselves & the world.
