Stepping into therapy is no small thing and I'm glad you've landed here.  I bring both lived experience and deep clinical training into every session.  I'm passionate about supporting adolescents and adults as they navigate the complexities of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that show up daily.  Whether it's anxiety that won't let go, stress that sits heavy, or unwanted patterns.  I work with clients to help find clarity and direction.

I hold a PhD and Master's in Social Work, and have over 10 years experience working in communities.  My approach is holistic because we bring our whole selves into this process.  I look at the full picture: mind, body, and behavior.  As a certified yoga instructor, I also weave in body-based practices when it fits.  My work is strengths-based, applying a culturally responsive lens rooted in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), which means that we'll focus on tools that work for you.

My approach is also about walking beside you.  I see this opportunity as collaborative. With you bringing your story, your wisdom and your questions, together we uncover what healing looks like for you.  You can expect a space that honors your whole being and reminds you that growth doesn't always look perfect.

If this is your first time in therapy or you're coming back with new goals, I'm here to meet you where you are.
