I am particularly passionate about working with adults , teens, and couples who are struggling with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship issues. I aim to guide individuals into overcoming internalized shame and guilt, embracing self-compassion, and finding their voice. As someone who felt like she didn’t have a voice growing up, I hope to provide the space for others to explore their own experiences and identities to ultimately find peace and authenticity. I have worked as a therapist for three years and have experience working with individuals and couples in multiple communities.

Seeking professional help for your mental health is a huge step towards building a healthy, peaceful life. It can be scary and intimidating, so take time to reward yourself for this decision. I believe that my role as a counselor is to give you the tools for you to use to manage stress and hardship in your life. Oftentimes, we feel powerless and out of control in times of stress. My counseling sessions incorporate Cognitive Behavioral components to help you feel in control over your emotions and thoughts. You are the expert on yourself—you know your goals and your vision for your life. I can work with you to accomplish your goals.

Wanting to make a change but unsure where to begin? Want to feel more confident and authentically you? I am here to help guide and support you! Through a collaborative approach, we will set and reach goals. I find it important to look at a person as a whole rather than a just a presenting concern as we all have unique life experiences. We will work towards goals by using evidence-based approaches such as, but not limited to, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

We believe self-acceptance is a key part to living a balanced, content life. As such, we believe that compassion, honesty, and being genuine is the way to achieve healthy relationships and lifestyles. We see ourselves and those with whom we work as humans striving to do our best, to grow, and to achieve. Whatever your beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, challenges, successes, and life experiences, we strive to create an accepting environment to encourage exploration to be accepting of who you are and to achieve your potential.

In a world that is filled with labels and titles, we are all simply human first. Being human means we are all bound to get it wrong sometimes and that life can be challenging no matter how much we have (or don’t have) figured out. As a person and a counselor, I also believe being human means your worthiness has no prerequisites, and I view life’s challenges as an opportunity to know ourselves and others better in a deeper, more intentional way.
