Welcome! As we all know, life's emotional challenges can interfere with our ability to maintain a productive and fulfilling life. In my more than 25 years working as a licensed mental health professional in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I have worked with adolescents and adults struggling with many different issues including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, overwhelming stress and managing the struggles that can come with the myriad of changes that are inevitable throughout our lives (college stress, job pressures, grief and loss, etc.).

The psychiatrist Scott Peck wrote "Life is difficult. ...but once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters." One of the guiding principles of my work is the reality that life presents challenges to all of us. Those challenges often require us to examine views we have held for many years, and work to gain a new perspective. My experience with clients has shown me that for those who seek to grow and learn more about themselves, their relationships, and their lives, there are always answers.

A strong connection to your therapist is the cornerstone of good therapy and is more likely to lead towards personal growth and achievement of your life goals. I want you to feel heard, understood and successful in your healing journey. I use an approach that is warm, welcoming and real with my clients. I specialize my work with adults who have experienced relational trauma, depression, anxiety and victims of narcissistic abuse. I am certified in trauma therapies such as TF-CBT, IFS, and Tapping (EFT). I also pull from an eclectic approach of therapies such as CBT, DBT, ACT and family systems.

Are you feeling stuck, confused, overwhelmed, or discouraged? These feelings can prevent you from moving on and accomplishing your goals. Events from your past and present can affect your ability to cope and to concentrate on the present and future that you want for yourself. Talking to a trusted, objective therapist can help you sort this out and learn skills to cope and move on to the life you want. Many people are relieved to learn what their symptoms mean and to understand that there is hope. I can offer support, guidance, and information on coping skills to help you move on.

Any individual, couple, or family making the decision to embark on therapy has made a brave step toward growth and change. Once rapport and safety is established, giving the self permission to be raw and vulnerable is what I strive for with clients. Feeling safe to explore discomfort and navigating different means of communication is at the heart of my work. The approach of curious exploration and demystification helps the individuals, couples and families that I work with resolve stressors related to anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues, work and academic influences, family dynamics, and LGBTQ issues.

In particular, as a woman of color, I prioritize serving those who have been historically underserved by providing high quality, compassionate, and culturally responsive psychotherapy.
I strive to create a warm and compassionate space, by enacting my values of humor and community. My aim is to get to know you as a person, and to assess how we may establish a collaborative relationship to alleviate any concerns that may bring you to treatment. I draw from modalities such as CBT and ACT and integrate a culturally responsive framework.
