I specialize in working with young adults, and adults. The patients I see often come to me with issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self harm trauma and coping with life. I utilize a mixed array of techniques for adolescents and adult clients. Some techniques I use are Motivational Interviewing, Strength Based Therapy, and Person Centered. I believe it is important to find a good match when finding a therapist. I work to create an environment where the individual feels comfortable, as therapy can be vulnerable at times.

My work is grounded in liberation psychology and cultural humility. Who you are, your race, gender, spirituality, family history, community ties, and the systems you navigate every day, and your relationship to power is not background information. It is central to the work. You will not need to minimize, explain away, or translate your experience here. My approach is integrative. I draw from Internal Family Systems, Multicultural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, embodiment practices, and Emotional Freedom Technique, weaving these together based on what you need and what resonates with you. No single method fits every person, and I am not attached to a rigid formula. I work alongside you, not above you. We will identify together what you are working toward and what pathways make sense for your life. I believe deeply that the most meaningful change happens when your voice, your values, and your cultural wisdom are driving the process.

It’s exhausting to feel like the expert on your own problems but a stranger to the solution. Whether you’re worried about your relationships with those closest to you or navigating major life transitions, we’ve all felt lost at one point or another. My approach is built on the belief that change is something we make, not just something we hope will come to us. With a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a background in Psychology and Sociology, I view your symptoms as only one piece of the puzzle. It’s your individual experience that truly guides the process. My years of working as a Case Manager have shown me firsthand how life’s stressors can pile up until they feel impossible to manage. As an LMHC, I blend gold-standard clinical practices with a unique, creative edge to help my clients combat these feelings. To bridge the gap between talk and transformation, I utilize custom-designed worksheets and art therapy tools to help you process emotions in a guided, digestible way. Whether we’re untangling relationship patterns or mapping out your next chapter in life, you’ll leave our sessions with more than just new realizations and food for thought. I will provide you with a tangible roadmap, a visual guide, to help you on this journey to transformation. You don’t need to have all the answers before you walk through my virtual door. We’re going to find those together, step-by-step and at your own pace.

I offer the ability to engage conversation regarding anything from test anxiety to the meaning of life. I love working with the college population because they are just finding out who they are and are always thinking critically about themselves and where their talents and abilities fit into this chaotic world. I can help provide guidance to discover what is preventing you from reaching your full potential in both an emotional and intellectual way.

ADHD is more than just "having difficulty focusing," and no, not "everyone has a little bit of ADHD" as many people claim nowadays. The impact of ADHD is pervasive and can keep you from reaching your goals, connecting with others, maintaining a routine despite knowing that it would be helpful, and constantly "masking" for fear that you will not be accepted as you are. Life administrative tasks feel daunting and get postponed repeatedly, and the negative self-talk that ensues as a result takes a further toll and increases avoidance. I can help you understand the brain science of ADHD, incorporate aspects of mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities to overcome these challenges, and regain your mental energy. You'll learn to work with your neurodivergence, NOT against it. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, lens and am mindful about how culture, immigration journeys and systemic racism play a role in how someone compensates for their ADHD.

We conduct executive functioning coaching to neurodiverse college students or those struggling with organization, time management, coursework, and other aspects of college life. We also provide comprehensive individual evaluations for ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning and/or mental health disorders.
