I have worked with an array of concerns including depression, anxiety, multicultural issues, trauma, life transitions/stressors and LGBTQ+ related issues. As a multicultural counselor, I know that your story and identities have a huge role in how you navigate the world. If you are looking for some help heading in the right direction, then I can offer support.
You might be struggling with something concrete—a challenge in your relationships or a professional hurdle. You might be facing a big decision. Or you simply might know something feels off but are unable to place a finger on what is going on. No matter the issue, I am here to walk you through the process.
The populations I specialize in counseling include people who identify within the broad LGBTQIA+ spectrums of sexual orientation and/or gender identity, persons living with HIV, polyamorous folks & others in non-monogamous or open relationships, and kinky people. I work with clients working on anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life skills, communication skills, boundaries, assertive communication, mindfulness, relationship counseling, and life changes.

"Is this really it?, Is this all there is?" Sounds a little too familiar? Life is feeling chaotic, unfulfilling, or just blah. Some days it feels like you have it together, some days it feels like one wrong move and everything is going to fall apart. Anxiety, self-doubt, and depression are all holding you back. You and I can work together to build a life worth living. We aren't looking for unattainable perfection. It's knowing that you will prevail even when life gets tough.
My clients will benefit from my expertise and guidance to behave in their best interest My Clients will receive effective treatment interventions to heal trauma, experience emotional wellbeing, sobriety, increase social skills in autism, anger and stress regulation and a successful life I simplify how to transcend personal concerns or complex trauma from being an obstacle to integration and fulfillment
I treat a wide range of patients. The most personally rewarding part of every position I’ve had is getting to know people, talking with them, learning what makes them unique, and constantly rediscovering all the ways we are all the same. Medication management is an art and a science. There usually are many different acceptable treatment paths, and I enjoy getting to know my patients and figuring out what will work best for each particular person, given their preferences and personalities.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
