Pre-Licensed Professional
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by the demands of daily life? Do you struggle to maintain focus amidst the chaos? Perhaps you feel like an imposter or that everyone else seems to have things more figured out. I understand the weight of these emotions—the sense of losing control, the tension in your body, the fear of disappointing others. You deserve relief. Mental health struggles can be paralyzing, and it’s time to break free from its grip.

I’m here to guide you through a strengths based approach to reducing the impact of your mental health struggles in your life. Together, we’ll unravel the tangled web of your thoughts and emotions to bring clarity to your situation. You’ll learn to channel your energy into actionable steps that align with your values and goals.

I’m committed to equipping you with effective coping strategies that will bolster your resilience in the face of life’s challenges. With these tools, you’ll discover the courage to change your life, to manage stress, and navigate obstacles with confidence.

My Approach

I believe that healing happens in the empathetic and authentic connection between two people. I empower my clients to be the experts on themselves and their experiences. Alongside my expertise in human growth and development, we can work together towards your goals. I utilize a multicultural lens embracing my clients’ individual identities and life experiences, and take a wellness approach to counseling by focusing on your strengths and utilizing them to foster holistic wellness in your life.

During our sessions, I won’t impose any expectations or judgments on you about how you should act or what you should do; instead, I’ll support you as you navigate your journey. I provide a relaxed, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and connect with yourself and your values more deeply. I am not afraid of humor or cursing. Bring your authentic self and I’ll bring mine.

I offer both individual (virtual and in-person $160/hour). Accepting new individual clients now.
I also offer group therapy sessions (virtual only) $60 for a 2-hour group session providing intensive therapy and peer support. Reach out for availability for groups addressing the following issues: ADHD, Anxiety, and Relationship Recovery.
