Life transitions can shake the foundation of who we are—but they can also be the start of something more grounded and authentic. I help individuals rebuild that foundation by creating healthier habits, deepening self-awareness, and uncovering their strengths. I work with people of color, ranging from ages of 18 and up, single or married, all gender(s), or religious backgrounds.

I firmly believe that everyone deserves to share their story in a nonjudgmental and supportive context while gaining insight into the impact their experiences have on their lives. I also believe that unconditional regard for your client is the bedrock of a healthy therapeutic relationship. My core values of the inherent value and dignity of human life and the basic human right to live a healthy and safe life are truly at the core of my clinical orientation and approach.

I work best with adults who are ready to invest in meaningful, insight‑driven work and explore themselves on a deeper, more intentional level. Many of my clients have moved through trauma, low self‑worth, or relationship patterns that no longer align with the life they want to create. Others come in navigating anxiety, high stress, burnout, or major life transitions such as career shifts or loss. Through a CBT lens, I help clients understand the patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, guiding them toward lasting change, greater clarity, and a grounded sense of confidence and self‑trust

Together, we can move through those difficult moments at a pace that feels right for you.

My ideal clients are individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or emotionally drained, even if from the outside it seems like they are holding everything together. Many come to my practice because they are struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma, parenting stress, life transitions, or repeated patterns they want help understanding and changing. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can feel safe enough to slow down, talk openly, and make sense of what they are experiencing. I help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop healthier ways

As a therapist, I seek to curate a warm and inviting experience for my clients. A place where one can feel safe, and not judged. I'm a life long social worker, and this background allows me to provide a holistic approach to my therapy sessions. I seek to treat the mind, but will work with the client to ensure they are healthy in other areas of their life as well.

I am an experienced and compassionate clinician dedicated to providing trauma-informed and weight-inclusive care to all ages. I was drawn to eating disorder treatment because this issue resides within the intersection of social justice and mental health. In eating disorder therapy, my goal is to help you feel like you can get your life back. I am particularly successful in treating ARFID because I value autonomy for my clients and like to come up with creative solutions for healing. I practice from a Health at Every Size perspective and support clients in making peace with their bodies, regardless of size or shape.

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Do you know that it is a problem, but cannot seem to control it? I am experienced in working with a range of substance use issues, from mild to severe, as well as process or behavioral addictions, such as addictions to sex, shopping, pornography, food, and people. Effective psychotherapy can include helping limit your use and minimize its consequences, or complete abstinence, and an assessment if medication such as Suboxone, Methadone, or Vivitrol is right for you.

You're thoughtful and resilient, and you've worked hard for what you have. From the outside, you're the one others depend on — the one who's had to manage different worlds to get where you are. But underneath, there are old hurts and patterns that weigh you down. Maybe it's anxiety or depression you can't shake. Maybe it's a voice that says you're not good enough. Maybe it's relationship patterns you want to change. You don't have to carry it alone. Together, we'll work on healing those old hurts so you can stop just coping and start becoming who you really are.
