"Healing is personal, but justice is collective. My work is about helping people find their voice while reshaping systems to honor communities."

How I work...

  • I value collaboration, trust, and mutual respect in the therapeutic relationship.
  • Rather than positioning myself as the expert on your life, I help you engage your strengths and inner wisdom in the healing process.
  • I take a holistic approach to wellness, honoring the mind, body, and spirit, while acknowledging the impact of societal and systemic forces on mental health.
  • I create an affirming, intentional, and safe space for you to explore how your identities, values, past experiences, and fears shape your challenges.
  • My practice integrates cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT), mindfulness, and mind-body practices, fostering deeper awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
  • Rooted in a humanistic approach, I deeply believe in your wholeness and potential and help you reconnect with personal strength and clarity.
  • ​I provide online Individual, Couples, or Multi-Partnered Relationship Therapy for Teens & Adults
    • $200 per 45-50 minute individual therapy session  ​
    • $225 - 350 per  50-80 minute couples or multi-partnered relationship therapy session 
      • ​$50 added for each added adult partner after two.

Phone Consult

Before the first appointment, we offer a free 5-10 minute phone consultation with administrative staff. We will talk in order to see if the therapist is a good fit for what you are looking for in a counselor.
