Working on your mental health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and I'm glad you're here! I have extensive experience working with clients managing depression, anxiety, grief, relationships concerns, life transitions, family conflict, & trauma. I also enjoy supporting with caregivers experiencing burnout. If you are looking for a therapist to truly understand and support you in your feelings, I am your ally.

My practice offers affordable and inclusive sessions with culturally competent providers. Our goal is to make therapy work for you. The process of taking care of your mental health can be a stressful one & we want to make it as easy as possible. We respond to all inquiries within 2 business days.

I know that the next step you’ll take after this—reaching out—can be one of the hardest. Admitting you are struggling is something that can feel very scary & vulnerable. However, I’m here to make this a soft landing for you. Please reach out to ask any questions you have and to get started!
