I became a counselor because I saw how building social emotional skills and secure attachments in childhood transform lives. I wanted to help adults build these skills too, boosting self-esteem, strengthening relationships, and supporting overall well-being.

I work best with youth, young adults, parents, and couples who want to feel more connected with themselves and others, improve communication, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence, balance, and stronger relationships.

I wish all clients knew that healing takes time, dedication, and sometimes discomfort. Therapy isn’t immediate, but with consistent effort, you’ll notice growth, stronger relationships, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

In our first sessions, we’ll get to know each other, explore what brought you to therapy, and start building a safe space. Early on, we focus on noticing emotions, body sensations, challenges and regulation, while taking practical steps toward growth.

My practice is informed by my experiences as a parent in a blended family, as a mixed-race, neurodivergent parent of a transgender child, and by my own ongoing journey in therapy. I value compassion, honesty, and creating a safe, culturally responsive space for growth and healing.

I tailor therapy by listening closely and meeting clients where they are. Using trauma informed, culturally responsive, and relationship centered approaches, I help clients build emotional regulation, stronger connections, and practical skills for growth.
