As a counselor, it is my passion to create supportive, grounded and non-judgmental therapeutic relationships. My goal in therapy is to encourage insight and connection. I have a wide range of experience working with diverse individuals and I value inclusivity of all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds and life experiences. It is my hope to stand next to you as you navigate your unique life transitions. Whether you are seeking to gain a better understanding of your personal journey or are hoping to tackle specific obstacles, I would be honored to help you navigate your personal growth and development. I see therapy as an opportunity to set your goals into action while having a place to process all that comes with making change.
It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth.
You have felt pressure your whole life. Maybe it was pressure from your family: pressure to succeed, a parent’s expectations to live up to, a family culture where you never felt good enough, or pressure to be someone you were not. Or maybe you have put pressure on yourself: to make others happy (often sacrificing your own happiness), to never let others down, to always excel and achieve, or to not take up too much space in the world. You’re exhausted and you wish you could just turn off the noise in your head: the self-criticism, the worry, or the feelings of uncertainty. You want to feel free to live life on your terms.
I’ll help you learn to trust yourself, to feel good about setting boundaries with others, to feel empowered to say “no” to what you don’t want, and to get clarity about what you really do want so you can start creating a life you really enjoy living.
I believe in your strength, and I know that you are capable of creating the life that you seek. The next step is to just reach out: call, email, or visit my website to book an initial consultation where we'll talk about you and your goals and how I can help you. I look forward to talking with you.
This is your space to be you.
When you feel safe, supported, and heard - you’re going to feel comfortable sharing the experiences, history, and situations that brought you to our door.
Connection with your therapist leads to an openness that allows us to get clear on why your relationships follow a pattern or behavior that doesn’t give you what you need.
In creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts without fear of judgment, we can open the door to real change.

I will support you in reaching your own definition of success.

Diving into the intricacies of the human mind during my undergraduate years, my focus settled on the connection between trauma and creative expression. This passion evolved, leading me to pursue a Master's Degree at University of Southern California. I've had the privilege of aiding individuals from diverse backgrounds in conquering challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, addiction, self-worth issues, and relationship discord. My clientele spans the spectrum, including fine artists, members of the entertainment industry, writers, and performers.
What fuels my dedication is the belief that everyone has the capacity to overcome obstacles and fulfill their life's purpose. In our initial conversation, I'm confident my enthusiasm for helping individuals, fostering self-expression, and navigating life's hurdles will become apparent. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet with you, delve into your unique needs, and collaborate on solutions for your concerns.
