I’m a Master's-level psychotherapist passionate about helping women and men across all life stages find clarity, peace, and direction through life’s many transitions. Whether you’re navigating career pressures, relationship stress, or simply feeling lost while juggling it all, therapy can be your space to breathe and reconnect with yourself. I specialize in supporting women and men through healing, growth, and rediscovery. Healing doesn’t have to look perfect—it just has to start. Together, we’ll move you from survival mode to a place of clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.
My therapeutic approach is down-to-earth, affirming, and collaborative. I draw from Person-Centered Therapy and CBT, integrating cultural awareness and trauma-informed care to meet you where you are. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale, reflect, and start feeling capable again.

Many of my clients come to me in seasons of transition…graduating, changing careers, rebuilding after loss, or rediscovering identity midlife. Together, we’ll untangle what’s keeping you stuck and create a path toward balance, freedom, and confidence. I believe healing happens not through perfection, but through compassion and learning to care for yourself.
