Life can throw a new challenge that we need help from a third perspective. That is why I like helping people to empower themselves with what's needed in order to fill the gap and reduce barriers to next level of success in their treatment goal(s)! Often than not, our environmental or relational dynamic in life is the most difficult matters to change or resolve. My clinical work focus on the important subjects that often trigger and precipitate mood symptoms from those relational and environmental disruptions in life.

My communication style is direct - meaning using open-communication and empowerment to the core issues or reason that you are facing the obstacles in life to help you stabilize your life and mental health as prompt manner as possible. I also practice open-communication style by allowing people to ask questions when you have a question about the therapy process or me as your therapist. I will try to answer the best way I can with respect to healthy therapeutic boundary as applicable.

Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn’t changed. I help adults and older teens navigate traumatic experiences, anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties. With over 20 years in the field, I bring a warm, direct, collaborative approach to helping you feel more grounded and connected. I offer gender-affirming therapy and LGBTQ+, kink, and polyamory-supportive care that respects your identity, relationships, and goals. I also welcome people living with chronic mental illness.
