The clients I see are often stuck and/or in pain, and are seeking to improve their quality of life. They view therapy as a tool to help them progress and achieve their goals. They work hard in and out of therapy to make the necessary changes that will bring them greater happiness, peace, purpose, and meaning. They often seek a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships. They want to increase coping skills, enhance interpersonal skills, and gain confidence to make difficult decisions and do hard things. They want to know that they are not alone in their struggles, there is hope, and healing IS possible.

I value diversity and seek to serve minorities and underserved communities. I empower clients through witnessing, accepting, and validating their unique lived experiences. I recognize the impact that privilege & oppression have on individuals, couples, and families, and I work hard to encourage and enable my clients to become who they want to be.

There is so much more to life than pain, sadness, and suffering. You deserve to feel happy and fulfilled. If you are struggling to live the life you want or be the person you want to be, please reach out for help. I'd be honored to walk with you on your healing journey to become your best self and live your best life with those you love. You can do this!

I help clients get to the root of why they are depressed or anxious, and we figure out where their trauma comes from. During our initial sessions we will talk in depth about the issues at hand to help you understand how you came to be where you are now, and create a plan to help you get to where you want to go from here. Most of my clients report increased self-understanding and self-compassion.

I have a playroom full of toys for kids 11 and younger where I do child-centered play therapy. When you bring your child in for therapy I partner with you as their parents, and we will meet every other session for a 20 min parent-consultation where I will ask you about the child's symptoms and behaviors, update you on their progress in therapy, and teach you parenting skills and child development.
