You have arrived to this page in search of some relief. You may have been trying to "just deal with it" for a long time and nothing seems to get better. Life's challenges can overwhelm us, it can make our thoughts and feelings unmanageable, it can leave us feeling helpless at times. Powerful emotions can leave us immobilized and stuck in unhealthy patterns. But it seems you're ready for change, and to have a life worth living.

I have experience supporting our active-duty military, supporting adolescents from underserved populations, and operate my own private practice working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
As an IFS therapist, I offer a warm and welcoming approach to counseling. Trust, non-judgment, creativity, empowerment, and individualized goals are central to my practice. It is my hope to always provide a safe, culturally conscious space, grounded in trust. My ability to listen, hold space, and provide compassionate understanding creates an atmosphere where everyone feels safe and comfortable navigating their internal system of “parts” at their own pace.

As a Veteran, I have experience working with a diverse range of trauma, Military trauma, as well as a variety of mental health and behavioral challenges.
Sometimes in order to get better we must go backwards. Sometimes the most painful moments are the most purposeful moments. Remember you are not alone. It is at these difficult times when we may need additional support. I value the opportunity to help clients move forward in their journey of personal growth and development.

I welcome all families, including adoptive, LGBTQ+, military, and first responder families.
The excitement and hope you felt when you first found out you were going to have a baby have transformed into anxiety and doubt. You love this child more than you ever thought possible, but you question if that’s enough. You’ve been thinking more about how you were parented and understand it didn’t give you the best model to work from. Because of this, you often question if you really know how to raise a child, to be the parent your child needs. Whenever your child is fussy or hard to soothe, you wonder what you’re doing wrong. You’ve typically been pretty confident in yourself, but being a parent has shaken that. I can help.

Life is more like a winding labyrinth than a straight path. We hit moments of overwhelming anxiety, persistent sadness, grief, or the twists and turns of major life changes. It's during these times that a helping hand can illuminate the path ahead. Growing up, I saw how mental health and substance use challenges could weave through communities. But too often, these struggles were shrouded in silence, especially within minority communities like mine. Think about it: when a persistent backache throws your balance off, you wouldn't hesitate to seek medical help. So why should navigating mental health be any different?
