I am passionate about couples work, trauma-focused healing, and supporting adolescents and parents.
Being human is so, so hard. Existence comes with suffering, and sometimes it is all just too much. The privilege of my life is to walk with clients through depression, grief, conflict, trauma, marital crisis, difficult developmental transitions, and other hardships, providing empathy, wholesale acceptance, and connection. My clients gain more than practical skills in our therapy; they gain confidence, comfort, emotional tolerance, resiliency, self-compassion, and healing from our co-created therapeutic experience. You were not made to walk through suffering alone. Asking for help is the bravest thing you can do. Let's walk together.

My ideal client is someone who is tired of living in survival mode and is ready to reclaim their voice, restore confidence, and rediscover a sense of purpose. They may be healing from trauma, navigating major life transitions, or breaking free from old narratives that no longer serve them. Many of my clients value faith or find strength in spiritual practices—reflection, gratitude, or scriptural inspiration—woven into their healing journey. They want to feel whole, empowered, and connected to their true identity—ready to release past wounds, embrace strengths, and step into a life of clarity, alignment, and authentic freedom.

For years you've felt responsible for other people’s emotions, keeping the peace, and holding everything together even when it costs you yours. Now self-doubt has taken root and you find yourself second-guessing everything: your words, your tone, your reactions. Relationships feel exhausting and confusing, even though you try SO hard to make them work. People-pleasing leaves you exhausted - adapting and carrying the emotional weight that was never yours to start with. Survival mode has become your normal. You know these patterns need to change, but breaking them feels lonely, overwhelming, and frightening without steady support.

Perhaps parenting, which used to be so easy, does not seem to be working.
I embrace the importance of the link between the brain, heart and body, holding all our stress, trauma and emotional 'truths'. Becoming aware without judgment or avoidance is essential for change. Tapping into DBT skills to strengthen Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance as well as Interpersonal Communication is powerful and effective.

Above all, I strive to create a therapeutic space grounded in safety, authenticity, connection, and cultural responsiveness. During the intake session, patients can expect a supportive and collaborative space where we explore their current concerns, strengths, and coping strategies to better understand their unique experiences.

I integrate evidence-based practices (Cognitive-Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Family-Systems, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, EMDR, child- parent & Infant- Parent therapies) with a person-centered, culturally humble and trauma-informed lens.
When we are suffering, often the greatest antidote is someone to share our suffering with. Research in psychotherapy effectiveness shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors predicting helpfulness of therapy. I see my role as providing a supportive therapeutic space to foster growth, healing, and healthy relationships. It takes great courage to face our human vulnerabilities and for each person the journey is unique. Regardless of your reason for entering therapy, our work will be informed by who you are, what you value, and where you want your life to go.
