I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where it feels safe to lay all your cards out on the table without fear of being judged. Our lives can sometimes be brutal, or exceedingly beautiful, and everything in between. I'm here for all of it. I find that I work particularly well with people who are struggling with major life transitions, grief, and managing chronic conditions.

I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body. He offers spiritual guidance and perspectives to those that wish. All services must be approved by provider

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.

“Like a lotus flower, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, blossom out of the darkness, and radiate into the world.” I believe meaningful therapy begins with a space where you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. I work with adults, and some of the areas I have experience with include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and life transitions, among others. I offer LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care and warmly welcome clients exploring body image, sexuality, ethical non monogamy, polyamory, and other parts of authentic self expression.
