Welcome, and thank you for taking the brave step toward healing. If your mood can flip from complacency to intense anger at a given moment, if you feel numb and tend to distract yourself to avoid emotions, or if your thoughts tend to spiral in a mental whirlwind, there may be an experience of loss that has gone unprocessed. Whether you have experienced betrayal within a relationship, death of a loved one, loss of a job, or estrangement, unprocessed grief can manifest as subtle yet damaging behaviors that camouflage against the confidence we have while navigating the day to day. From unregulated emotions to substance misuse, I specialize in helping you identify these reflexive patterns and determine the root cause beyond the grief to cultivate personal growth.

After navigating my own mental health journey in my 20s, I was exposed to a variety of care techniques which motivated me to work within the healthcare space as a means to rebuild connection between client and patient with authenticity. While there are hundreds of psychotherapy modalities, I believe in curating a method that is personalized to you and combines proven techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, mindfulness, and somatic practices. Together, we will build a specialized treatment plan that facilitates sustainable healing with actionable steps that hone your inner strength.

Along with my current pursuit of a PhD in Counseling Psychology, my background includes 15 years of leadership experience in healthcare administration where I built specialized programs as long-lasting solutions to community health challenges. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care that takes a holistic approach fortified by my education, professional expertise, and lived experience. I take all factors of a person’s life into account, and offer a warm, safe environment that builds trust amidst the vulnerability. At the end of our sessions, my aim is to empower you to see yourself as a person of courage and hope. By taking fragments from the road already taken, we will carve a new path ahead of self-assurance and mental wellbeing.
