Currently accepting new patients. See my self-scheduling link below.
I believe everyone has the ability to create a fulfilling life and deeply connected relationships.
I approach our work as a collaborative partnership, supporting you as you navigate relationship challenges, life transitions, moments of feeling stuck, and helping you make changes that align with your values.
Whatever brings you to counseling, we’ll work together to move through obstacles to create a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and true to who you are.
As a POC, I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work. I specialize in depression, religious trauma, cultural & political differences, LGBTQIA+ issues, dating & relationship struggles (including polyamorous couples). I’m especially passionate about helping people build healthy relationships as well as rebuild their lives after a major change or loss.
I'd love to connect and see how I can support you. I respond to all inquiries promptly. You can also self-schedule an apt directly through my website (see link above). Be sure to include your availability and insurance info in your message. If I’m not on your particular insurance plan, I’m still happy to help with out-of-network reimbursement.
