The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope. The most influential people who have impacted my life and who established a legacy for me were my grandparents. They established a legacy, it was the legacy of care, compassion, and goodwill to mankind. I saw kindness, love, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and gentleness and these are the qualities I bring into the therapeutic relationships.

Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to stop by. You are evidently looking for something; perhaps I can help you find it. Seeking help can seem like staring at the base of a steep cliff and facing a seemingly unreachable goal, a goal of real and satisfying change. While change is not often easily or painlessly achieved, it is certainly possible. With an experienced helper to assist along the way, you can determine to safely and successfully make your way toward the top. The hardest step, of course, is the first: that of getting started. You have already done so in reading this, so don't stop now. Keep going.

Live an inspired and empowered life. It is my goal to ensure the quality of care that allows you to lead your "best life imagined".
My goal is to create a space where clients can feel comfortable and empowered to explore who they are so that they may become their authentic self. I am a strong believer in the relationship between therapist and client being a collaborative one, where you have just as much of a say in your treatment and will always be met from a place of non-judgment and curiosity. As a neurodivergent, queer woman, I understand all too well how difficult it can be to find real affirming care and just how relieving it is to find someone who actually "gets it." I aim to work from an antiracist, intersectional, sex positive, antiableist perspective.

I believe that every individual has the ability to be the best version of themselves, by breaking down the barriers brought upon by daily stressors and traumatic experiences. These problems may appear as depression, anxiety, problems with coping and strained interpersonal relationships. I also use Behavior Analytic principles to teach parents strategies and techniques to modify problematic behaviors in children.

You're calm on the outside, but inside is a rollercoaster of anxiety and stress. Overthinking and worrying runs your life and feeling relaxed seems impossible. No matter what you do, you feel overwhelmed with emotion or you numb out and feel nothing. You've been called "too sensitive", your self esteem is low, or feel like you're too much for people in your life. Maybe something happened in your past that still affects you and you wish you could get over it. Trauma and emotions feel trapped inside and you feel like you're in survival mode 24/7. You're tired of feeling this way and you're ready for a shift in how you experience life.
