My priority is to create space for you to feel welcome to share your stressors, goals, and experiences, and feel heard and affirmed. We will focus on your whole self - your environment, relationships, and history - and how these impact your perspective and sense of self. I enjoy working with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity development, and relationship concerns. My goal is to invite others who have marginalized identities to feel both safe and challenged in my (virtual) office, and to build the skills and confidence they need to grow into the version of themselves they hope to be.

Every person has their own unique path. On this path, we are faced with obstacles and challenges that, at times, can feel too big for us or simply halt our forward progression. We have two choices - we can allow those challenges to continue to prevent our forward progression, or we can work through those challenges to allow us to clear the path so we can continue on our journey of having a more fulfilling life. If you are reading this, you have taken the first step in making the choice that you no longer want your challenges to dictate your quality of life.

Listen. There is nothing wrong with you; what you perceive as overreaction and self-destruction is your psyche trying to tell you something and misguided attempts to protect you from more pain. You have within you what you need to heal, but it may feel often like a fight or a wild goose chase. Together we can find safe spaces for you to stop fighting and start finding yourself. If you are working on answering big questions about yourself, working through childhood trauma, or searching for relief from anxiety and depression, let's take this journey together!

If you are considering starting therapy, you may be at a vulnerable place in your life. It's possible you're healing from past experiences, managing conflict, struggling to discover who you are, or experiencing new or enduring mental health symptoms. You may have even tried therapy before and felt defeated by a lack of therapeutic connection or ability to create meaningful change. I am passionate about creating a space where children, adolescents and adults feel their most seen, heard and accepted even when they feel their most vulnerable.
