Life can feel overwhelming when you're trying to manage anxiety, relationship stress, family conflict, or major life transitions on your own. Many people come to therapy feeling unheard, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can slow down, process what you're experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes. I am especially passionate about empowering individuals who feel unseen or like they don’t have a voice. I work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences, strengthen coping skills, and build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Professionally, I approach counseling as an ally and assistant to my clients throughout their counseling journey. I believe "change" is defined by the individual and that everyone has the potential to grow when empowered to do so. We all experience some form of stress, grief, hopelessness, or fear, and the idea that we must shoulder the weight of these emotions alone is counterintuitive to who we are as humans. My goal is to provide you with strong support and tools to manage whatever struggles you may be working through at your own pace while creating a relaxed and collaborative environment for all cultures and identities.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
