I believe everyone has the ability and desire to have an extraordinary life. I see therapy as a healing conversation that provides clients with a safe, non-judgmental place to express their challenges, and helps them to rediscover their strengths, talents and resources. My intention is to create a collaborative partnership to support my clients in finding solutions that are consistent with their values and beliefs. Whatever it is that brings you to counseling, together we can overcome self-doubt and obstacles to create the healthiest version of yourself. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you.
I am a POC who specializes in depression, anxiety, career/academic stress, religious & cultural differences, LGBTQIA+ issues, alternative lifestyles, dating and relationship struggles. I'm passionate about helping people create healthy relationships, as well as rebuild their life after a difficult loss or life change... or simply when feeling stuck.
Please contact me with your insurance provider information along with your availability for appointments; I return all inquiries promptly. I can assist with reimbursement for out-of-network claims if I am not a provider on your plan. For your convenience, I also offer self-scheduling. You can book an apt directly with me on my website (link above).
