Professionally and personally, I have a passion for social justice work and am driven to help all people successfully navigate an increasingly complex multicultural society. As technology shrinks the world, we are exposed to an ever more diverse set of people, communities, ideas, and perspectives. Whether we are a part of historically privileged or oppressed communities, all of us are working to find our place in this neo-diverse society. More and more, I see this challenge represented in my clients as they seek understanding of their issues, strengths, and identities.

But beyond credentials, I'm someone who genuinely believes that every person deserves a space that feels safe, affirming, and completely their own.

I enjoy walking alongside older children, adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, (including pornography addictions) and marriage crises.
Successful counseling is founded on a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. In order to build trust, I take time to learn your unique personality, context, and culture. I believe each person is a emotional, social, physical and spiritual being. Thus, I evaluate presenting issues from each of these domains.
