More About Your Therapist:

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with adolescents who present with anxiety, depression, defiant behavior, trauma, and other school-related issues. Most of my experience stems from working closely with pre-teens and teens who present with a variety of concerns such as sexual/gender identity, substance use, self-esteem, grief, divorced/separated parents, self-harm, suicidal ideations, among other issues. Adolescence is a unique and somewhat challenging time for both the teen and their families. In my counseling career, I have had the honor to help teens and families successfully navigate through this stage.

I also specialize in working with adults who present with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Most of my experience stems from working closely with adults who experience a variety of concerns such as identity, cultural concerns, relational difficulties, loss, suicidal ideations, life transitions, among other struggles. 

I hope you will quickly feel the support I am able to provide by creating a genuine, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to develop a safe space and meet you where you are at by building our therapeutic relationship, allowing you to navigate this journey called life. I truly believe that you do not need advice, simply the confidence to find solutions that allow you to thrive. I think growth happens through feeling heard, supported, understood, and at times, challenged. Additionally, I practice from a culturally responsive, trauma informed, person-centered approach, while incorporating solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, expressive arts, and other supports based on your personal needs.
