I work with young adults, teens, families, and individuals from the BIPOC community who are navigating various mental health concerns such as anxiety, mood disorders, relationship struggles, life transitions, multicultural challenges, and family conflicts. Many of my clients find it difficult to connect with someone who truly understands the unique experiences and pressures they face. They seek a safe, supportive space where they can be seen, understood, and valued. Together, we focus on building resilience, enhancing relationships, and cultivating self-compassion, empowering them to share their stories and pursue personal growth.

You're deeply worthy, just as you are. Difficult life experiences can sometimes create a sense of disconnection from that truth. Maybe you're feeling lost, stuck, misunderstood, isolated, or overwhelmed. The way you feel right now is valid -and- your story doesn't stop there. You can wholeheartedly reclaim your next chapter and beyond. Know that you're not alone in this journey home to yourself. A good therapist can offer a safe, empathetic space to help you understand your past in a more empowered way, release limiting beliefs, skillfully notice and shift patterns, and embrace the inner resources you've had all along.

I have always been drawn toward both internal experience and relational dynamics, and find nothing more enlivening than facilitating corrective bonding experiences between a couple or family members. I believe problems and solutions are best understood within their systemic context, and I see the interactional space between people as the primary arena for change. Because of this, I am most in my element when working with couples and families who are caught in chronic cycles of conflict or disconnection. There is nothing so moving as the coming together of two people in moments of true, unscripted vulnerability.

I like to tell my clients, this is your therapy, you are the one driving the car. I am just the one in the back seat looking at the map, saying we could go right for the ocean view, or left for the mountains, which way would you like to go? Together we will co-create goals that will fit your circumstances and where you want to go. You are the expert of your situation. I am passionate about working with life transitions and those moments of, “this is not where I want to be, or planned to be in life, so now what?"

I provide counseling services to all communities and specialize in non-monogamous relationships, individuals who have participated in the erotic trade industry and the kink and queer communities. My goal is to combat stigmas impacting marginalized communities by creating access to mental health resources. These stigmas create barriers to treatment, contribute to a lack of culturally competent therapeutic resources, infringe upon a person's bodily autonomy and contribute to discriminatory incidents.

A lot of people come for therapy because they are not feeling good. This might be from a trauma or a difficult life changing event, or they haven’t been feeling good or something isn’t right in that moment. Therapy can be an eye opening to these aspects and a place to address what concerns you to improve your life. There are always two sides for life. You could be wonderful enjoying your life and it still could be struggling. It’s okay not to be okay. Sometimes all we need is someone to really understand what’s going on and listen to us.

Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you are stuck in the same patterns of emotions and choices? When my clients start therapy with me they often feel confused, exhausted and have difficulty making changes due to years of living in survival mode due to trauma. Sometimes, they even feel shame about who they are and the choices they are making. When they end therapy with me they feel more clear about their needs, desires and how to get both met. In therapy you can create a future that centers your assets and strengths to build a future that honors your desires and values.

I am a mental health counselor who believes therapy is a process in which you will gain greater self-awareness, that can change how you live in the world and relate to others. We all have issues from our past, big and small traumas, being triggered by our current situations that prevent us from living a more meaningful life. Creating healthy connections with the parts of you that are challenging, builds the resources for you to be more authentic and comfortable in your own skin. By doing this, you find your strengths and face your fears.
