Awareness and Wellness Center

Pre-Licensed Professional
Accepting clients Last Updated Today

Provider Types

This is a group practice with multiple providers, including:

  • Marriage & Family Therapists
  • Pre-Licensed Professionals
  • Psychologists

Many of the clients I have worked with sought out therapy for the things that quietly wear a person down: depression, anxiety, life stress, grief, self-doubt, challenges in interpersonal relationships. Alongside my general practice, I have focused training in relationship and intimacy, sex therapy, trauma, identity exploration, and ADHD assessment. I have particular experience working with clients of color, LGBTQIA+ clients, and clients in consensually non-monogamous relationships, and I want my office to be a place where you do not have to explain or defend the basics of your life.
My approach is humanistic, strength-based, multicultural and feminist. I believe my clients are the experts on their own lives. I am here to help you recognize the resources you already have, explore what is genuinely meaningful to you, and find your own way through the hard stretches.
Many people wait a long time before reaching out, often because they worry their concerns are not serious enough or that they will have to explain too much about who they are. You are welcome here as you are. If you are curious about working together, I would be glad to connect and see whether I am the right fit for you.
