Hello! Whether this is your first time searching for a therapist, or you are deep into your search for a therapist that clicks, I am here to help with your search. I provide a safe, comfortable, collaborative, and nurturing environment for adults and adolescents to begin a journey of self-discovery and take actionable steps toward managing issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, challenging life transitions, and low self-esteem. I help my clients gain an understanding of their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and how they experience life to support them in addressing the barriers that are hindering their personal growth.

I believe in providing a safe environment and building a strong and great relationship with all clients. Through my experience as a professional counselor, I have gained a strong understanding of anxiety, depression, PTSD, dissociation, and trauma related to mental health. Previously, I was working in a university mental health clinic, as well as for a non- profit organization that helps individuals relating to trauma and PTSD. Most of my experience has focused on working with adults ranging in age from 18-65, but I welcome all age ranges into counseling.

You deserve to be seen, heard, and valued. I am passionate about working collaboratively with children, adolescents, teens, and adults.

I have the honor of working with adolescents and adults who want to better understand themselves and improve their relationships with others. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can build a strong foundation of trust, respect, and collaboration. This therapeutic relationship serves as a laboratory where individuals can experiment with new ways of interacting with others, leading to more positive and fulfilling relationships. My interest and specialties include working with immigrant populations, trauma survivors suffering from anxiety and depression, complicated/complex grief, and woman's issues.

Therapy is collaborative. As a therapist, I am a partner in my clients' self-explorations and a witness to their accomplishments. I provide a serene place where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves, deepen emotional connections with self and others, recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships, consider new ways of being in the world, develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and work through past and present past trauma, grief, and losses. You have the strengths you need to meet your full potential and achieve a satisfying life. I can help.

Things come up in life and sometimes they've been there since...well, forever, it seems, or sometimes they're new and unexpected challenges.

It's not easy, but it's definitely worth exploring your experiences and yourself to gain new self-awareness, new ways of navigating the world, and some healing. Together, we can help you find some space/strategies to have your needs met.

Howdy! I'm thrilled that you are starting the process of looking for a therapist! No two people are alike, so I don’t use a cookie-cutter approach to the work we do together in counseling. While I pull from multiple modes of therapy, it is common for me to use tools from biofeedback, mindfulness, CBT, IFS, and more. My style is equitable and relational, with previous clients saying that my humorous, laid-back approach to therapy put them at ease quickly. There is no power hierarchy: I am the expert in mental health; you are the expert in your life. We need both to have a successful and productive counseling relationship!

The negative thoughts in your head are so loud. Feeling inadequate, unworthy, and “never enough” you struggle to connect with others. Anxiety and stress feel like a regular part of your life and you don’t know how to break the cycle of negative thoughts and actions. Minimizing your experience, you think, “I don’t have it that bad,” but you can’t shake it off any longer. The more you push your feelings down, the more they bubble up in other ways. Feeling isolated, stretched too thin, and overwhelmed you’ve finally made it here to look for support. Simply wishing things are different is not enough.
