You haven’t felt good for months. You can’t get out of your head and your thoughts are constantly racing. Your feelings are in the driver’s seat of your life instead of you. You feel like no one understands, and you’re all alone. All you want to do is change this! Yet you feel so restless, you can't be still or concentrate on one thing for very long. We want to offer you hope that it doesn't have to stay this way. It’s possible to feel whole and alive again. Your nightmares don’t have to haunt you into the day. You can have peace and connection, with yourself and with others. Your joy and energy for life aren’t gone forever.

Taking the first step can be difficult, but you are not alone. I wholeheartedly believe that mental health is wealth, as it impacts various areas of our lives. It makes a world of difference to not go through those difficulties alone. If you find that you have been struggling with a variety of issues, including but not limited to, relationship problems, work stress, familial conflict, or trauma history that manifests into anxiety or depression, I welcome you as you bravely choose to improve and prioritize your overall well-being. Please take comfort in knowing that you are doing something significant, and that is choosing you!

I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

I am a full-time practioner, and have been a therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in many different settings. I am not accepting new clients, other than the folks i have already communicated with. Trust is an important part of any relationship. I understand that it is something that is created slowly, and maintained over time. I often serve as someone who bears witness to the stories people bring with them. By listening to those that come to see me, I better understand their experiences and then have an opportunity to assist them to fully heal.

My ideal client is an individual who either has been contemplating change or is ready to make changes in their life and would like to have someone objective to talk with. I am open minded and love to learn from my clients. I think that continuing education is vital and that mental health is as important as physical health. My ideal client would be someone who would take what they think is beneficial from our session and practice it in their everyday life. Then we would discuss in future sessions how the practice went and what needs to be adjusted-if anything!

We've all heard the phrase "live your life to the fullest," but for many of us, that can seem like an impossible goal. Navigating our thoughts and feelings, exploring cognitive patterns, and understanding who we truly are can be a challenging and complex process. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. By creating a space that is validating, non-judgmental, and compassionate, I help clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Our path to therapy often starts in a painful place. We may be feeling hopeless and disconnected, not quite like ourselves. It is okay to feel this way. It is even informative to feel this way because it tells us something different needs to happen. And you’re already taking your first step towards that in searching for a therapist. Feeling better starts with just one step.
