Does your life feel like it is on repeat?
Do you end up in the same kinds of relationships even though you are with a different person? Maybe you feel stuck or maybe you've lost motivation and zest for life. Are there past experiences that keep showing up and sabotaging your present? Perhaps your little one just got diagnosed with ADHD or another learning difference and you are seeing their confidence slip away. Do you feel powerless and lost?
I can help you!

About Me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, who works with teens and pre-teens who struggle with symptoms of depression and anxiety related to school challenges and/or unexpected life events. I also have experience working with women in all stages who have experienced emotional abuse, who struggle in relationships and who had a chaotic childhood. I enjoy working with women who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD and/or complex trauma. And, I particularly enjoy working with those who are first-generation Americans and multilingual individuals and families.
I have a strong belief that behaviors usually fulfill a need, and we work collaboratively to identify your needs and replace self-sabotaging behaviors with behaviors that feel more aligned with your values, and congruent with you.
My work with you is rooted in compassion and empowerment. Recognizing the complexity of our existence, I use a variety of techniques to help you process your lived experience. I help you connect to the present moment and challenge distorted thinking. We examine the story you tell yourself. I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) , various Gestalt techniques, and mindfulness.
I am currently being trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming), a modality to help those who struggle with Complex Trauma. And I am trained to work with those diagnosed with ADHD.
