Typically, clients come to see me when their previous experiences with traditional "talk" therapy haven't helped to resolve their symptoms. Trauma and stress have an emotional, psychological and physical impact, but we often need to start treatment at the most basic level: calming the nervous system. I see clients who are experiencing chronic pain, illness, addiction, PTSD and other common co-occurring disorders including Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) or Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES). All of these issues can be treated using empirically proven techniques that address the whole person - body, mind and spirit.

I am dedicated to healing the scars that trauma inscribes on hearts, in minds, through behaviors. I understand the fragility of the heart, the dark and winding paths that are possible for the mind to follow, and the effects which play out in the body. Moments that are beyond our comprehension, beyond our control, that play out in a narrative that is not of our choosing. It is my passion to come alongside the individual – child, adolescent, teen, young adult, adult – to help bring light to the darkness, and to walk with the family to develop new ways of seeing one another and interacting together.

As a dedicated and compassionate licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in providing support for individuals, families, and children facing trauma, anxiety, and depression. With a deep commitment to mental health and well-being, I offer a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their innermost struggles and embark on a journey towards healing and resilience.

Life can sometimes be filled with unexpected challenges and difficult emotions. I would love the opportunity to support you through your journey. I highly value the therapeutic relationship and work to build an environment where you feel safe, accepted, valued, and understood. Everyone is unique and I work to tailor the counseling process to meet your specific needs. Most importantly, I want you to feel that you are in the care of someone who can help you meet your goals. I offer a free phone consultation to help you decide. I also offer virtual sessions to make counseling more convenient and comfortable for you.

In my work, I center the voices of those with minoritized/oppressed identities (e.g., Black people, People of Color, LGBTQIA+, trans, gender-expansive people, and people in nontraditional relationship configurations). I have extensive experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration (ethnic, racial, gender, and/or sexual identity), intersectionality, PTSD & Trauma, racial & oppression-based traumatic stress, and relationship concerns. I am also comfortable integrating religion/spirituality into our therapeutic work. My therapeutic sweet-spot is working with Q+BIPOC individuals and couples.

My mission is to create a safe and nurturing space allowing our clients to process their stories, navigate difficult life challenges, and help them transition from a place of trauma to a new place of healing and transformation. I strive to provide counseling and coaching services with passion and purpose to empower clients in making lifelong changes to reach their full potential and optimal wellness of mind, body, and spirit.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages; adults, adolescents, and children. I believe that all clients have an innate ability for change and growth. Through my knowledge of human development and behavior, I will facilitate you working to achieve your counseling goals. I will provide you an environment of empathy, genuineness, and safety where you will be free to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Together we can discover the strength and hope within you.
