I’m here to offer a compassionate and safe space where you can explore and work through life’s challenges. I believe that everyone deserves care that addresses their needs and honors their unique cultural experiences. With a strong commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice, I’m passionate about helping people find healing through trauma-informed care, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), harm reduction, and restorative justice.

Here’s what you can count on from me:

  • Integrity: I’m all about being real and doing the work honestly and transparently.
  • Compassion: I genuinely care about the people I work with and want to help them feel supported in every way possible.
  • Cultural Sensitivity & Humility: I get that our differences matter. I’m here to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected.
  • Creativity: I love thinking outside the box to help build resilience and tackle issues in ways that feel right for you.
  • Collaboration: We’re in this together. Whether it’s you, your family, or community partners, I believe in teamwork to get the best results.
  • Consistency: You can rely on me to follow through; when I say I’ll do something, I’ll do it.
  • Challenging the Norm: I’m not afraid to do things differently if it means offering counseling modalities that truly resonate and make sense for you.

Services I offer: I provide one-on-one, couples, and group therapy to help you navigate a range of issues, including but not limited to the following:

  • Abuse (Physical, Sexual, Emotional)
  • Anxiety & Worrying
  • Setting Boundaries
  • Burnout Prevention & Recovery
