As a group practice we are honored to provide Mental Health and Substance Abuse Recovery Services with a Christ centered worldview, because it takes Faith and Courage to believe your life can be transformed!

This principle is the basis for our counseling perspective. With this frame-work, it is our desire to improve one's Biological, Psychological, Social and Spiritual functioning through partnership, as individuals navigate life's challenges.

Educated, licensed, and in clinical practice since 2018 in the Bay Area, CA, I recently moved my practice to Durham. Primarily trained in Gestalt therapy, as an integral therapist I also pull from IFS, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and other somatic, experiential, mindfulness-based modalities. I'm passionate about supporting connection to core self and aliveness, and increasing self-direction and empowerment. Anxiety, depression, chronic illness, infertility, loss, explorations of identity, communication issues, deepening intimacy, and building trust are a few of the challenges that bring clients to see me.

There’s this old saying, “Just look towards the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything will be alright.” But what if the tunnel is long and the end feels extremely far away? What we are unable to see where the tunnel ends? What if the tunnel is so dark that we have to focus on not tripping so we can’t take the time to look for the end? Many of us may feel this way in our daily lives. We may feel that we are in this tunnel and are having trouble finding the light at the end of it. We may feel depressed, stressed, overwhelmed or hopeless. But what if I told you that the light at the end may not be the only light? ​

Do you feel overwhelmed? Having trouble coping day to day? Frustrated with life? Looking to break free from the past? I can help.

It’s painful to walk through life feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, loss, sadness, or past experiences. I will work with you to find solutions that help you feel healthier and happier.
