Many people feel overwhelmed by the weight of their past or unsure of how to move forward. We want to feel empowered, emotionally safe, and in control of our lives.

I offer a supportive, direct, and culturally responsive space to explore healing and growth. My work blends evidence-based approaches with deep compassion and practical tools. Whether you're working through the lasting impacts of trauma, a teen trying to make sense of your world, or someone in a blended family seeking peace, you're not alone.

I only provide telehealth at this time. I accept adjustment issues, life transitions, grief, mood or anxiety. I will be open and honest with you about what I can and cannot do for you within the confines of telehealth. I use the first session to determine that this is going to be a good fit for both of us. Therapy is very much about a good fit between two people and the right techniques. I intentionally keep a small caseload so I can give you the time without being preoccupied by keeping up volume. My availability is limited, so I can only accept mild to moderate mental health concerns. I am happy to direct you to more appropriate resources or providers if we aren't a good match. I see intake as a mutual interview for both of us to learn about each other and decide if we want to continue a therapeutic relationship. In the interest of helping you get the best care possible, I ask that you seek in-person treatment if you struggle with a thought disorder, substance abuse, partner/relationship violence, or other safety concerns. I also do not take court or DCF mandated treatment cases via telehealth. I also do not specialize in divorce or child custody matters. While I am knowledgeable in these areas, I believe the best care is in-person.

Which has placed me in this position to help others on their journey. I believe my ability to connect with clients is universal.

If you’re here, you may be carrying experiences that still show up in your body, your thoughts, or your relationships — even if those events happened long ago.

My approach is trauma-informed, which means I move at your pace, prioritize your sense of safety, and respect your boundaries. You are always in control of what you share and when. Therapy is not about forcing yourself to “relive” anything — it’s about helping your nervous system feel safer and helping you reclaim your sense of choice and agency.
