Taking the first steps towards living a healthier life can be scary. You are not alone. I look forward to meeting you and walking with you through it all.

“Often it’s the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self.” Challenges and pain will come, but you can overcome and heal from them. During these times of pain, life can bring uncertainties, which can become overwhelming to face alone. What we tend to forget is life is a journey that we take in community and not individually. We can overcome these issues together as I walk alongside you without judgment to help you achieve the life that best fits you. I specialize in domestic violence, sexual abuse and trauma, loss/grief, depression, and anxiety. I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CPT), as well as other modalities based on the needs of the client. I have experience working with a variety of individuals from adolescences to adults from diverse cultures.
