"I understand that sometimes this just feels way too hard: sorting through the interwoven, complicated threads of what’s working in life and what’s broken, and then taking action to heal the broken bits is difficult work. But I assure you the quick solution never provides sustainable relief." -Pooja Lakshmin, author of Real Self Care. You and I will work together, building momentum toward the change you envision for yourself. Many of my clients are adolescents, young adults and college students, postpartum parents, and families of children with special needs.

We are committed to building positive therapeutic relationships with each of our clients. We work to understand each client using a supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative approach.

Every person has had difficult moments in their life. This is one of the things that bonds us as human beings. We all have things in common, such as feeling the same emotions, dealing with similar situations, or having similar ways of thinking. Though we share these commonalities, each person has their own experiences that are unique to them. This is the perspective I take when it comes to my therapy practice. Each client brings their own unique set of needs and experiences, which needs a unique and individualistic therapy approach, different from the next client.

We can sometimes be overwhelmed and feel lost. As a licensed mental health counselor, I provide a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. With a deep understanding of various therapeutic methods, I strive to help you navigate through life's challenges and develop effective coping strategies tailored to your unique needs. My passion lies in empowering you to achieve personal growth and self-discovery. Through active listening and empathy, I aim to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust.

Wellness and emotional fitness are reachable, and achievable. Self-discovery is a pathway to emotional health. As a seasoned therapist I utilize an intersection of CBT practices, with mindfulness, cognitive and solution-focused evidence-based strategies to help you develop emotional intelligence in a safe, confidential, inclusive healing space. Give yourself the time to discover the self-love, kindness and grace you deserve.
