As a therapist, I focus on services for individuals and families. Services include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, anger management, adjustment, depression, relationships, etc. We will work together to help you develop insight, create meaning in your life, and find traction to achieve your relationship, career, health, and wellness goals. I have experience with all ages and abilities. When life becomes challenging or your aspirations are diminishing, I invite you to explore your therapy services with me. Therapy is a collaborative process that balances listening to and insightful feedback to help you make the changes you desire. You will have a safe place to explore your emotions, thoughts & behaviors. I will provide you services from a holistic approach to identify resources, problem solve & facilitate services to ensure your needs are met. These services will be developmentally and culturally appropriate treatments that will empower you to address life challenges and enrich your life. I believe that every person is resilient, and has the capacity to heal and live a full life.

As a mental health therapist with experience supporting diverse populations, I am dedicated to helping adolescents, adults, and high-performing creatives and athletes in overcoming struggles related to stress, depression, anxiety, identity development, life transitions, attachment concerns, and self-doubt. My approach is focused on collaboration, grounding, and culturally responsive care, as I’m passionate about helping you access the healing you already have within you, build confidence, and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and resilience. Working together, you can expect a reflective and open-minded environment that meets you where you are to support your strengths, goals, and lived experiences. My style is compassionate and adaptive, allowing me to be a fully engaged partner in your healing journey, which may utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help you build self-awareness, manage anxiety, and navigate life transitions with confidence. I look forward to exploring challenges together, developing practical skills, and guiding you in navigating life with clarity, confidence, and agency. My path to becoming a therapist was built upon my own experiences navigating identity, grief, high-performance pressures, life transitions, and chronic medical challenges. Overcoming the obstacles created from these challenges taught me the value of providing restorative, patient-centered care, a perspective that allows me to better support self-awareness, insight, emotional regulation, meaning-making, psychological flexibility, and behavioral change in each session. When I’m not in the office, I’m out and about in my community! I love thrifting, traveling, running, dancing, and facilitating community events. During quieter moments, I enjoy journaling/reflection and making oddly specific music playlists.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to helping teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals adjust to life's challenges and build emotional regulation skills. Through a solutions-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based approach, I help heal the body, mind, and spirit in ways that work best for you. My specialties include mood and anxiety disorders; sexual issues like dysfunction, trauma, and pervasive sexual behavior; trauma and PTSD; and relationship problems, including non-traditional relationships. I believe in meeting people where they are through a collaborative and understanding approach. That’s why I ensure a fun and down-to-earth environment in our work together, helping you build effective tools and break down walls to overcome struggles. We achieve this together through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and more approaches so you better understand your emotions, your reactions to those emotions, and ways to manage life experiences. The Netflix show Sex Education drew me toward the therapeutic path upon being inspired by the main character’s mother and the type of work she did with her clients. After finding a dual-program with this specialty, I discovered my love for general mental health care and how it intersected with many sexual issues that people experience. This love brings new inspiration to my practice now, where I ensure judgement-free, trauma-informed, strengths-based care with an open mind and down-to-earth vibe. I enjoy a variety of hobbies when I’m not in the office – exercising and playing with my dog to stay active, reading and trying new restaurants to explore new worlds, and spending time outdoors to connect with nature.

No matter the treatment, I believe in empathy, collaboration, and honesty, which helps me be a caring, team-oriented, and transparent partner in your therapeutic journey. I look forward to building a strong, reliable relationship that nurtures our time together. My path to becoming a therapist began with work as an immigration paralegal, a victim-witness coordinator, and a guardianship liaison. These experiences developed my awareness of the gap in mental health services for BIPOC communities and deepened my commitment to making a difference within my communities. I now bring a personalized, supportive, and empathetic presence to each session guided by this awareness and dedication for positive change. Outside the office, I love reading – and building book nooks to get lost in novels in comfort. I also enjoy traveling and swimming for fitness.

Finding the right support can be the turning point that changes everything. As a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor, my work centers on helping children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and the emotional challenges that can make everyday life feel unmanageable. Whether you're struggling to regulate overwhelming emotions, coping with loss, or searching for a greater sense of clarity and control, I'm here to walk alongside you. Together, we'll work to build the coping strategies and emotional tools you need to feel more grounded, confident, and empowered as you move forward in your healing journey.

That’s why sessions are always tailored to your unique experiences and goals.

Whatever you're carrying, my commitment is to meet you exactly where you are and support you with compassion and empowerment every step of the way. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped, in part, by my own lived experience with anxiety and depression. This journey gave me a firsthand understanding of how overwhelming mental health challenges can feel, and how transformative it is to have the right support in your corner. That perspective deepened my empathy and strengthened my passion for helping others navigate similar struggles. It's what drives me to show up for you with insight, genuine care, and a presence that is always open and free of judgment. Outside of the therapy room, I believe that taking care of yourself is an ongoing practice, not a destination. Reading, listening to music, and spending quality time with family and friends all help me stay connected and grounded.
