My clients describe me as:

I'm not a regular therapist, I'm a cool therapist. In my office, you can expect to cry, laugh, and listen to a T-Swizzle lyric that matches your life.

Something to know about my approach is:

I typically cater my approach on a case-by-case basis but expect to talk about your childhood and how different systems (family dynamics) or lived experiences (intersectionality) are affecting the present moment.

Together, we will:

Explore patterns, uncover trauma, discuss annoying family members, wonder why dating is so aggravating, complain about things, and find coping skills to help you deal with all the difficult people and situations in your life. We got dis!!

I specialize in working with people who:

struggle with substance abuse or are going through major life transitions. But sometimes even the little transitions that can occur every day (like getting out of bed) are difficult and we need to talk about them too.

I became a therapist because:

I have always been the "therapist" friend, so it made sense. I also enjoy listening to people's stories and supporting them through difficult times.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I hope you know you CAN sit with me regardless of whether you wear pink on Wednesdays...

More about me and my practice:

If you want tips on navigating life stressors or are ready to dive deep into your trauma, I’ll listen and support you. If you’ve made it this far, I commend you for taking the first step toward asking for help - this can be the most challenging part!
