I became a counselor because I understand what it means to live with complex stress and expectations, and I've witnessed how healing can begin when someone finally has a safe place to tell their truth. I wanted to create that kind of space for others - especially those who have spent years showing up for everyone else.

I work best with clients who are ready to slow down, reflect, and do meaningful work around long-standing stress, trauma, or life changes. I often support older adults, caregivers, Veterans, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients who want to better understand how past experiences shape their present lives and are seeking steady, practical support.

I wish clients knew that therapy is a journey - one that is uniquely tailored to you. The first step is simply showing up and sitting with someone who wants your healing just as much as you do.

In our first session, we'll focus on gathering context and completing required intake assessments, including relevant historical and social information, to set a strong foundation for our work together. By the second session, we begin discussing your presenting concerns and collaborating on goals that feel meaningful and supportive to you.

My practice is informed by lived experience, service, and a deep respect for the stories people carry over time. As a Black, queer, lesbian, Disabled Veteran and aging practitioner, my work is guided by values of justice, equity, and respect for lived experience. I believe healing happens through reflection, meaning-making, and practical support, especially for those who have spent years caring for others or navigating complex systems.

I tailor therapy by honoring each client's unique history, environment, and needs. Through attentive listening and a person-in-environment lens, I work collaboratively to shape goals, pace, and support in ways that feel meaningful and practical.
