I am a Licensed Therapist passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults to help them become the best version of themselves.

I foster a safe space where individuals can connect with their inner-most thoughts and feelings, and share them in a comfortable, judgement-free environment. As you develop self-compassion, you’ll begin to understand yourself and the world around you in a new light. Together, we can create meaningful and lasting change.

I'm not going to tell you to get over it, I'm going to help you get through it. For over 25 years, I have guided individuals on their path towards healing, higher self-awareness, and overall wellness. Many of us struggle with feeling alone, left out, unheard, tired, unconnected, anxious, sad, or fearful. Therapy is a way to change those negative feelings and to address all of the "stuff" we have pushed so far down that we don't know where to start. And you don't have to do it alone.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I focus on the systems around and inside of you. My philosophy is, you must honestly know yourself in relationships to identify yourself as an individual. There are no individuals in the world, only fragments of families trying to express themselves. I work with those that are curious about the world around them. I support breaking generational curses and patterns, to help find your true self. I support disenfranchised groups through the time we all living in. I focus on Social Justice through an experiential lens, that challenges our way of existing.

Wondering how a crayon or a paintbrush may evoke change and illicit peace and joy for you, your child or your family?
Is it HARD to talk about? Not excited to rehash it? Would you like to get through it and past it? Do you wish that it could be fun and also bring about peace and joy? You have come to the right place. You do NOT need to be an artist, but you can be. Can you hold a marker? Scribble? Doodle? You're qualified! Art therapy uses art to communicate and reveal the treasures and patterns about you and things you would like to heal, change or release. It doesn't need to be pretty, but it will be in many ways. It can be playful and ugly at the same time. It is not about the beauty of the artwork. It is about what it reveals and heals.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, especially when navigating complex emotions, societal pressures, or systemic inequities. You may feel caught between who you are and who the world expects you to be, longing for relief from chronic stress or a deeper connection to yourself. You don’t have to face this alone.
