About Me

I believe culture, experiences, and personal history are what give us our power. Working with a therapist is a partnership. It's having someone on your team to help you problem-solve, heal, and create your best path forward. Therapy is an investment in yourself. It's setting aside intentional time to lean into your emotions to better understand yourself so that you can transcend to the next stage in your life. You show up with the experience, history, and goals. I show up with the education, training, and evidence-based skills to collaborate with you and help you reach them.


Think of therapy as you in the driver's seat and I am beside you with the GPS. You are always leading the way and I am there to help guide you to your destination. I deliver care in a strengths-based way that is affirming and curious. I practice open communication and work with each individual to determine their preferred approach to expanding and healing.


I feel privileged to hold space for individuals that are seeking to change. My intention as a psychotherapist is to create a safe space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood so that you may heal and flourish into your highest self.
