I became a mental health clinician because life can be hard, and it is important that people have a safe space to work through life's hardships. Counseling inspires me as no matter what life throws at you, there are people around to provide support. I intend to be a place that people can find support and have someone walk beside them as they tackle new and old hurts.
Big life changes can leave you feeling unsteady, even when you are doing your best to keep moving forward. A new job, a loss, a move, or the end of a relationship can bring anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from the stability you once knew. You may feel overwhelmed, unsure of yourself, or caught in thoughts that make the transition feel even harder. These moments can be painful, but they can also become a place to build resilience, gain insight, and begin finding steadier ground again.
My therapeutic approach is not confined to a singular method; I adapt so I can meet the individual's specific needs and preferences, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth and healing.
Taking the first step toward healing and personal growth takes courage. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for exploration and healing.
You or your child might be feeling stuck in cycles of worry, rituals, or heavy emotions that don’t seem to let up. Maybe anxiety is running the show, or depression is making everyday tasks feel harder than they should. Whether you're five or fifty, these struggles can take a toll—not just on your mood, but on how connected and understood you feel. I became a therapist to offer care to those who’ve too often been overlooked, and to help break the silence around mental health—because no one should have to go it alone.
Some pain doesn’t show up all at once—it builds slowly. Maybe it’s the weight of anxiety that keeps you on edge, the numbness of depression that won’t lift, or the pull of addiction that leaves you feeling stuck in cycles you don’t want to repeat. You might not even remember the last time you felt fully present. I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to people’s inner strength, even when they’re at their most overwhelmed. Early on, I worked with those experiencing homelessness, and that experience continues to shape how I show up: with respect, curiosity, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal.
You may feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or the lingering weight of past experiences, unsure how to feel like yourself again. Even when you’re doing your best to keep up, it can feel exhausting to manage the emotional toll on your own. I support adults 18+ in navigating these challenges with care and understanding. I am motivated by helping each person move toward the best version of themselves, and I believe meaningful change is possible with the right support.
My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, with a holistic lens that looks beyond symptoms alone. When helpful, this can include medication support alongside building health-conscious habits like exercise, meditation, and strengthening social connection. I offer services in Spanish and aim to meet you in a way that feels both practical and empowering.
If you’re ready to begin feeling more balanced and connected in your life, you don’t have to take that step alone. Reach out when you feel ready, and we can begin moving toward lasting change together.
You may be doing your best to keep moving forward while depression, anxiety, or the weight of past experiences makes everyday life feel harder than it should. Maybe your mind rarely slows down, you feel disconnected from yourself or others, or certain experiences continue to affect you long after they’ve passed. These struggles can become familiar patterns that leave you feeling stuck or unsure of how to move forward. Therapy can help you understand what’s beneath those patterns, develop new ways of responding, and begin moving toward a life that feels more manageable, connected, and fulfilling.
You may be carrying depression, anxiety, or the effects of difficult experiences while feeling pressure to keep those struggles to yourself. Maybe talking about mental health wasn’t encouraged in your family or community, making it harder to put words to what you’re going through or ask for help. Over time, carrying everything alone can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you don’t know how to change. I believe that understanding your mental health can be empowering, and even small moments of insight or progress can become meaningful steps toward feeling more connected to yourself and the life you want.
You may be keeping up with work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities while feeling anxious, stretched thin, or emotionally exhausted underneath it all. Maybe relationship stress has left you questioning yourself, or workplace pressure and burnout have made it difficult to feel present even when the day is over. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out for help. I believe there is value in having someone truly listen and stay with you through the uncertainty, even when there isn’t an immediate answer. Together, we can better understand what’s weighing on you and find ways to move forward that feel more balanced and sustainable.
Living with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, or the effects of a neurological condition can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and uncertain about how to move forward. If you're recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), acquired brain injury (ABI), stroke, or another condition that affects your nervous system, you may also be trying to make sense of changes in your emotions, memory, focus, or relationships. You may just want to feel more like yourself again. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve care that understands your experiences in the context of both your life and your nervous system. I believe healing begins with understanding how the brain, body, and mind work together. I'll partner with you to create a personalized path toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.
