I work with clients seeking support for ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Chronic Illness/Pain, Depression, Disability, Grief/Loss, LGBTQ+, PTSD, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, and Trauma. I am passionate about working with immigrants, BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA2S+ community and people of all bodies and abilities. I work from a strength-based, culturally-sensitive and holistic perspective that values your unique experiences and supports you towards achieving your therapy and life goals.

My vision is to always create a safe and therapeutic space for those in my community. I endeavor to remain aware of the inequalities that exist for BI/POC, womxn, queer/trans/non-binary individuals, disabled/immunocompromised individuals, and older adults. I practice from a Feminist, Mulitculural approach and understand each client has their own unique therapeutic needs. My mission is to provide therapy with an integrative approach, considering the whole person, their strengths, emotional supports, spirituality, and resources that can be accessed through the community to aid in reaching treatment goals.

My practice involves treatment for adults and children using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and EMDR with mindfulness-based techniques that employ body and mind approach based on each client's specific needs. The counseling process is a journey to gain awareness, to restore sufficient inner strengths, and to heal the pains, enabling one to make desired changes for life. I apply stress reducing and relaxing skills to assist you gaining your own valuable awareness of circumstance, strengthening your capacity to restore your inner resources toward the concrete steps you can take to make positive changes.

I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they have. My passion is providing individuals and couples with the tools to help them overcome the challenges they face today and in the future. I am a fully licensed clinical social worker with a practical yet compassionate approach to psychotherapy. I add a mindfulness lens to the therapeutic environment during sessions to help couples and individuals distinguish past experiences and fears of the future from the peace of the present moment. I truly enjoy working with committed individuals and couples experiencing relationship challenges.

Life’s waves can bring seasons of disconnection from our energy, our body, our values, our relationships, and/or our community/environment. I specialize in supporting the diasporic health of queer, trans, multi-ethnic/racial people of all income classes. In therapy we’ll center developing energy-affirming practices and reshaping energy-taking practices. Using person-centered and strength-based evidence-based practices, we can map, structure, process, and equip you to navigate life’s terrains.

You’ve been feeling stuck. Struggling to find yourself, frustrated, and feeling not good enough. You may feel burdened by the expectations of who and what you are “supposed” to be. You’re a high achiever with even higher standards, and you’ve worked hard to get to this point. You're self-motivated and a natural go-getter, but your typical problem-solving approach isn't cutting it anymore. You’re not seeing results, and you wonder what the missing piece is.

I am especially passionate about working with individuals who are struggling with: Anxiety (including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, adjustment to life stressor/transition); Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; and finding meaning and purpose in their lives. I also work with couples who are struggling with: communication difficulties, maladaptive interactions, and wanting to build a stronger connection; one or both partners' ADHD symptoms impacting the relationship; one or both partners' Anxiety/OCD symptoms impacting the relationship, and trying to conceive/infertility stress and the impact on the relationship
