I help people make sense of the chaos—whether that's in your relationships, your family dynamics, or just trying to understand yourself better. My approach is straightforward: we look at the patterns, connect the dots, and figure out how you're relating to the people and situations around you. From there, we'll explore what you actually want to shift—and how to make that happen. I'm not here to just nod along or tell you what you want to hear. I'll offer new perspectives, gently challenge you when it's helpful, and help you see options you might not have noticed before.

As a therapist who has worked with both mental health and substance use related challenges, I value mindfulness and have a client-centered, trauma-informed, and multicultural lens when supporting my client’s therapeutic journey.

You can exhale- your support is here.
Are you carrying invisible labor? Whether that’s postpartum depression, anxiety, burnout, or the exhaustion of being “on” all the time, in spaces that don’t see you? My niche is supporting people of color navigating microaggressions, discrimination, or the quiet ache of isolation that comes from living in predominantly white or heteronormative spaces. Whether you’re a new mom trying to feel like yourself again, or a gay man learning how to hold joy and pain in the same body, this is a space made for you. The heaviness you feel isn’t yours to hold alone.

At one time or another, we all find ourselves stuck and struggling to move ahead. We have learned to cope and move through our lives using tools and coping mechanisms that have worked in some ways, but have not allowed us to feel grounded, comfortable, or fully happy with our lives as we progress through them. My job is to work collaboratively with you to create safety and trust through which we can help you develop skills and gain insights, allowing you to reclaim happiness and comfort in your life. I am most passionate about supporting people dealing with Anxiety, Grief, and Life Transition issues.

I specialize in helping women, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and challenges related to identity and self-worth. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by expectations, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that keep them from living fully. Drawing on my background in business and finance, I bring a practical understanding of the real-world challenges people face, including financial stress, workplace dynamics, career transitions, parenting, caregiving, and other life demands. Together, we'll heal, grow, and create a life that feels grounded, authentic, and true to you.

My approach to counseling is to focus on strengths and help to assist with solutions rather than telling my patients what to do. My focus is to address short-term problems as well as long-term psychological well-being. The more you can tell me about what and how you are feeling, the more effectively I will be able to assist you in resolving your personal problems and issues. I believe all individuals are deserving of acceptance, respect, compassion, and understanding, and all children are capable of success in academics, extracurricular activities, and social interactions.

The moment we start to think "who am I," "why am I like this," or "is this the true version of who I am" are moments I consider to be breakthroughs. Moments of self-reflection can be difficult to understand, difficult to seek answers, and just the thought seems bizarre or confusing. At times it may not even be self-reflection. Instead, it is the feeling of guilt, shame, worthlessness, or insecurities. It can also show up as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, interpersonal challenges, or strain in quality of life. This is the result of exposure to or experiences of neglect and abuse during our lifetime.

My goal as your future counselor would be to help you achieve what matters most to you in life. The way I see it is that our emotions can feel so utterly controlling at times and pull us in all sorts of directions. When this happens, we can be convinced that we are not capable of succeeding. I want to foster a space and introduce tools that could help you drop the ropes that we feel are tied to us and live our valued life.
