Who We are

 Whatever unique circumstance has brought you here, I acknowledge the courage it takes to seek help. It is my goal and priority to provide you with a non-judgmental, collaborative space where together we can dive deep into exploring how you may show up most authentically in your relationship with yourself and with others. I am deeply passionate about supporting clients of different backgrounds and life experiences, and interweave my training in trauma-informed care such as EMDR with evidence-based practices to meet you right where you are and provide tailored care that best meet your needs. I believe in your innate capacity for healing and transformation and would be honored to partner with you on your journey.

I believe that true healing happens when you honor the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My approach is to create a compassionate space where you can explore your experiences and move toward healing and growth. Whether you’re facing challenges related to complex trauma, women’s issues, or sexual health concerns—such as intimacy struggles, codependency, or compulsive relationship patterns—I am here to support you. Being trained in EMDR and IFS, I can help you better understand the patterns that shape your life. In your work, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can begin to rewrite your story in a way that aligns with your values and aspirations.

I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I understand how overwhelming it can be to face life’s challenges alone. Change happens through awareness, acceptance, reflection, and emotional regulation. Whether you’re restructuring your thoughts or improving your relationships, I am here to guide you through the process. I have a particular passion for supporting families facing medical crises or long-term health challenges, recognizing the emotional toll these situations can take. Each session with me is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that our work is driven by what’s most important to you.  I believe in your capacity to heal and grow from past experiences and that you can thrive with the right support.

Learning to navigate life’s obstacles while trying to fulfill daily responsibilities can be an exhausting challenge. I strive to empower clients with struggles like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and/or relational conflict to overcome challenges, identify inner strengths, and achieve their personal goals. I have a strong passion in working with athletes struggling to cope with career-ending injuries and helping them rediscover a new sense of identity and identifying resources that improve their mood and overall outlook for the future. Whether you're seeking therapy, guidance, or simply looking for additional support, I'm here for you every step of the way.

I believe that change happens as the result of a full embrace of our stories and how they have led us to where we are today.  As the therapist Carl Rogers said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." As your therapist, I will work to create a space in which you can see and hear yourself in the midst of the noisy world around you. I truly believe that this is when we are able to experience the growth that we long and strive for. I have experience working with both children and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, relational conflict, emotional regulation, and self-esteem issues. I can't wait to hear from you and begin your mental health journey.

 In our life's journey, we encounter experiences that significantly shape us. Often, our ingrained behaviors are acquired unconsciously, and we may feel constrained by the narratives we've absorbed or the challenges we've faced. I deeply respect your vulnerability as we collaboratively explore the intricacies of your inner world. My commitment is to empower you on your journey with compassionate support and guidance. I also provide EMDR therapy to help transform negative memories and liberate you from your past for a more adaptive present. Together, we can explore your story, emotions, and desires, providing a holistic experience that encompasses the entirety of who you are.

Mental health is a deeply personal part of our wellbeing, and it is courageous to take steps towards change and healing. Each individual has unique strengths, and as an associate clinical social worker I use evidence-based practices to work with you in a safe and empathetic space to explore the challenges you are facing, support you in identifying goals, and help you to learn healthy coping strategies. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that you are in control of your life and the change you want to achieve, whether you are a teen, young adult, adult or family.  I look forward to walking beside you on your journey, joining you on your path to wellness.

Seeking therapy can be the first step toward better mental health and self-love.  I understand the complex ways that identity can intersect with mental health, and I recognize the bravery that it takes to seek mental health treatment.  I specialize in working with people identifying as LGBTQIA+, first- and second-generation immigrants, and people of color. Work within communities of marginalized groups drives a lot of my commitment to this field and it is my goal to help others by providing affirming care and aiding them in navigating their world and emotions.  I believe that by truly understanding ourselves and our motivations, we can find peace and a healthier, happier life.

I love being a therapist and love the people that I have been fortunate enough to help and work with.  As an EMDR trained therapist,  I work to help you reprocess traumatic experiences that have been keeping you stuck.  I cherish and honor the time I spend with clients working with them to create a better life with more satisfaction and more good times.  I am a curious person who strives to meet each person where they are at so that I can be the most helpful.  I believe that my role as therapist is to first create a safe therapeutic environment where clients can feel confident and cared for enough to share and be authentic.  Then together clients and I can work to repair what isn't going well and create new experiences and new opportunities.
