About My Clients

Are you someone who may be struggling with feelings that seem bigger than you? Do these feelings get in the way of your personal goals, relationships, and overall self-worth? You’re in the right place; I dedicated my career to helping people work out the barriers to their accomplishments by teaching techniques that are proven to increase confidence levels.

My Background and Approach

I believe therapy is most successful when the therapist and client work together throughout the entire process of treatment. I am here to support you every step of the way, guiding you towards a life of happiness, balance, and fulfillment. Together, we will work on building the tools you need to overcome obstacles, embrace yourself, and build the future you want. My approach to therapy exceeds typical cultural competence and takes my clients beyond simply race and ethnicity. This helps me build targeted goals for all of my clients that take their full life experiences into account. I find this helps with crafting individualized care for better success overall. The experience I have working with personality and mood disorders gives me an in-depth understanding of the complexities of these disorders and related symptoms. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ issues and have extensive training in a multicultural approach; therefore, welcoming all individuals to my practice.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At the core of my therapeutic approach lies an unwavering commitment to social justice, equality, and inclusivity. I am deeply committed to the ideals of the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ+ rights, and transgender inclusion. I strive to provide a safe, validating space for individuals to explore their identities. I recognize the interconnectedness of various social issues, addressing them as integral parts of my clients' experiences. By nurturing dialogue and fostering understanding, I aim to empower clients to navigate life's complexities with authenticity and resilience, while fostering positive change within themselves and the world around them.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
