Have you experienced relationship issues with your partner(s), friends, or family? Maybe you are having difficulty connecting as a couple, adjusting to life changes, or feeling your cultural identity pulled in multiple directions. Sometimes life can feel quite heavy, but I am here to tell you, you don't have to carry it alone. Together we will explore your world, and discover how, with your willingness and commitment to learning new skills and tools, you can comfortably heal, grow, and take back control over your life and improve relationships. With me, you can expect a warm, trusting, and supportive environment.

No two individuals or couples are the same. As an integrative therapist, I draw from various therapies to find what works best for you, a unique individual or couple with a unique set of experiences and needs, keeping in mind multicultural or religious issues and traumas that may be impacting your life. I will hear you, see you, and respect you always.

Therapy looks different for each individual, which is a beautiful way to celebrate our differences. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and am committed to understanding you and your experiences to best support you on your healing journey. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation!
