And I can hear previous clients groan as I type this – and sometimes the thing that is hardest to learn to do is to do nothing... to just sit with the discomfort. But it could also be laughing, sighing, note taking, deciding and strategizing. I provide therapy for individuals and couples who are looking for change through a warm, engaged, and challenging process.

I might not help you find the answers you want, but I will help you find answers that create new opportunities for growth and clarity.

I show up with accurate empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and congruence.

I work with people who are high achieving and/or have challenges with perfectionism.  People who have come to an impasse or a place of stuckness where the old patterns of behavior are no longer serving them. Many people are dissatisfied with living a life that lacks alignment and authenticity, trying to fit the mold of outside expectations.  I help people reach a space of clarity and understanding through exploring patterns of thinking, dismantling faulty belief systems, and bringing awareness to hidden emotions.

I help people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, life transitions, stress, grief and loss, and relationship challenges.  My theoretical scope includes but is not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, mindfulness, solution- focused therapy, and strength-based approaches.

I work with clients of all faith backgrounds.  As a practicing Christian with 15 years of experience in ministry, I am skilled in using Christian beliefs and spiritual practices in the therapy space as a part of the healing process, if requested.

Rather than eliminating or actively avoiding the causes of pain, fear, and discomfort, it is crucial that we ask why we’re avoiding the things that make us human. When we ignore the physical and cognitive messages our bodies communicate to us, we risk neglecting what our bodies need to heal and thrive, and we deny ourselves the opportunity to succeed and live a meaningful life.

I help clients who feel angry, frustrated, afraid, or hopeless about their present circumstances or chronic stressors. I take great care in providing space for those who are willing to explore and process what keeps them up at night or weighs them down day by day. You do not have to know exactly what is wrong to find healing in therapy. Together we can achieve greater understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. 

As a queer, multiracial counselor, I practice therapy from a culturally sensitive, identity-affirmative lens to create and foster a safe therapeutic environment wherein clients can act, feel, and be their authentic selves. I enjoy helping individuals who are a part of marginalized communities and those who have intersecting identities including but not limited to queer and transgender individuals and mixed race persons. 

I strive to create and foster a collaborative counseling relationship built on trust, openness, and authenticity. Depending on your needs, our work together may focus on personal growth, self-exploration, goal-setting, and strengthening resilience. I provide individual psychotherapy for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, and suicidal ideation.

I prioritize the importance of taking care of one’s body, mind, and spirit by striving for balance among all areas of wellness (social, physical, occupational), as well as by building resilience and practicing mindfulness to feel more connected with the here and now. 

I help clients who are seeking to make meaning of their lives and the emotions that life can evoke. As an inclusive and affirming clinician, I partner with clients to identify strengths and address barriers to achieving their goals and develop a path towards healing and overall wellness. My approach to therapy is centered on a holistic perspective that addresses an individual's mind, body, spirit, and cultural background.

I provide individual psychotherapy for individuals that are managing through life transitions, racial identity, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Seeking therapy is not always easy and can sometimes be intimidating, so congratulations on taking that first step! I look forward to collaborating with you to develop a new level of self-awareness and the tools needed to tackle life’s challenges.
