I believe that any positive relationship must start with respect, positive communication, kindness, and compassion. These core values are the upmost importance to how I conduct any counseling session. I believe in providing a positive, fun, comfortable, and open environment that is crucial to the healing process. It would be my honor to help guide and navigate any person through their personal challenges. We all go through very difficult experiences at some point in our lives. It is my hope that together we can work on healing those areas and focus on achieving your therapeutic goals to feel better and be a healthier person.

I believe that each of us was created beautifully and meant to live with joy, but that throughout the course of life, we experience brokenness, pain, loss, regret, and different forms of trauma. Therapy is a process by which we examine how we hurt and explore how to heal.

I believe the human capacity for change and growth is incredible. Difficult experiences, negative environments, and challenging relationships can distort our connections with ourselves and others. These disconnections can create problems, and I see relationships as powerful change agents--particularly our relationship with ourselves. When clients are given the opportunity to feel heard and understood, healing and growth are possible. To do this, I believe it is vital for us to establish a strong relationship to support the change you would like to make. I provide culturally sensitive therapy to motivated individuals and couples.

We live in a world that is changing every day often creating stress, anxiety, and grief. Sometimes, we feel stuck in routines or patterns that are no longer serving us but struggle to make change. My role is to walk alongside to provide support, honesty, and perspective. I encourage my clients to pursue their authentic self while working to debunk societal norms. Many of us have trauma stored in our bodies, unaware we're holding onto past relationships, feelings of failure and inadequacies. I support utilizing other body-based modalities in addition to talk therapy to connect and heal physical/emotional pain.

Making the steps towards healing and growth can be difficult. My hope is that we can work collaboratively together to embrace challenges, identify strengths and develop healthy coping skills to help you thrive. I have experience working with both individuals and couples navigating relational and sexual health related challenges. Many of us face difficulties related to sexuality and sexual identity. Whether you have experienced desire discrepancies within your partnership(s), sexual dysfunction, sexual trauma, or have questions related to your sexual/gender identity, it can be incredibly difficult to reach out for support.

Feeling defeated, broken, and empty is a lonely and dark place to be. You do not have to go through this heavy season of life alone. I see you. I understand you. I will hear you. You’re hurting and you’re exhausted from having to shoulder everything on your own.
I work with women who want to gain insight into their lives, who want to feel whole again, be heard, and who want to heal and flourish.
You are a whole person. You are more than just someone who feels sad, anxious, is going/gone through a trauma, living in a fog, or grieving a loss in your life.
