About me

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, from young adults to older adults, helping them navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and the complex emotions that arise during major life transitions.

My approach is grounded in compassion and cultural responsiveness. I'm committed to creating a therapeutic space where you feel seen, heard, and respected for who you are. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma and abuse, build self-esteem, and develop healthier communication patterns. I also support those facing grief, isolation, panic, attachment challenges, and questions about life purpose and meaning.

Whether you're processing past wounds, managing current stress, or working through relationship dynamics—including family conflict, workplace concerns, or caregiver strain—I'm here to walk alongside you. I have experience supporting clients experiencing life-stage challenges, as well as those navigating financial stress, chronic illness, or significant loss and women through pregnancy, postpartum transitions.

My goal is to help you move toward greater self-compassion, resilience, and authentic connection. I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring your unique values and worldview as we work together toward healing and growth.
