***Currently accepting new clients for telehealth sessions.*** Are you experiencing a situation in which emotions are slowing down your regular process? Is your marriage struggling right now?

People tend to come to counseling when they're dealing with something NEW or something old that has gotten BIGGER than they can handle on their own. Counseling is a private, safe place to process those life events and/or symptoms of mental health. With over 15 years of experience, I have helped many clients reach their goals. I have experience in all areas of mental health, life transitions, and relationship issues. By working together, we will identify challenges and develop healthy solutions to improve your present situation. The strategies and tools you learn will continue to benefit you even after counseling has ended.

Welcome. Our journey in life can be incredibly rewarding but sometimes life experiences can cause stress, anxiety, or depression. Therapy can help to identify the cause of these feelings and help you move toward your goal of a more fulfilling life. Beginning or returning to therapy is a courageous step and my role as your therapist is to help you begin to navigate the journey and help you overcome difficult life experiences and the resulting impact on your mental health and wellbeing.

When we feel trapped by the way we think and feel about our lives, we lose hope. I help people to create a new narrative that reveals their strengths, abilities, and resilience. I help anxious and depressed students reach their potential, survivors of traumatic experiences seek posttraumatic growth, mothers who are adjusting to their new role to thrive, and emerging adults struggling with issues of identity development to explore their history of experiences in a nonjudgmental way. Clients who work with me find that they connect more deeply with loved ones and find profound meaning in their lives.

Having been on the other side of the chair, I want to you know that the healing process is in your capable hands. This is a challenge but you have everything you need to thrive already with you. Let me be there to reflect, hold space, encourage, and guide you to higher levels of awareness.

If you find yourself seeking therapy, it could be due to changes in your daily life that are causing disruption or dissatisfaction. It may be a new stressor, unresolved difficulties from your past, or a desire to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Engaging in therapy can be a healing and transformative process, paving the way to gain satisfaction in your life. Guided by compassion and trust, I take a collaborative and multicultural approach to create a safe space for this exploration.

How the hell did I/we end up here? When are things going to finally shift for me/us? Life, relationships, job: Could be worse, but could be waaaay better. If any of these statements capture where you're at - welcome to therapy. Whether it's your first time looking for a therapist, or your second decade in treatment, with me, you can bring your whole self - with its questions, stuckness, fears, longings, uncertainties - and find ways to move through. Described as "warm" and "direct" by clients, my work is strongly grounded by anti-racism, critical multicultural theories, and affective neuroscience.
