Therapy works best when it feels honest, real, and collaborative. I won't tell you how to live your life. I'll walk alongside you, offer ideas and tools that may ease what you're carrying, and we'll decide together what fits. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life stress, and major life changes. A diagnosis can help name what's happening, but it never tells the whole story. I'm interested in you: your history, your inner world, and what's underneath the struggle. I value working with people whose identities and experiences have often been overlooked or misunderstood in mental health care. This includes Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, Latine/Hispanic and Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, LGBTQ+ individuals and families, immigrants, and first-generation families. I strive to offer a space where you don't have to explain or defend who you are, and where your culture, identity, and lived experience are treated as central to the work. I tailor my work to each person. With children, that often means play and game-based therapy that meets them where they are. With parents, it means strengthening your bond and helping your home feel calmer and more connected. With couples and families, it means making sense of hard seasons and the patterns that keep you stuck. This is a space to slow down, be heard without judgment, and work toward the life you want.
