I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings a warm approach to direct, empowering, and holistic therapy to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. My therapy style is collaborative, humorous, and affirming as I believe you are the expert in your own life but I can be a supportive tool to help you in being who you want to be! Healing isn't one-size-fits-all, and therapy shouldn't be either. My work is based in trauma-informed care that honors where you've been, what you have experienced, and meets you exactly where you are. I believe your body holds wisdom that talk therapy alone can't always reach, which is why we integrate somatic approaches that help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

Seeking help in a dark time takes courage, strength, and a willingness to look at yourself and lean into your fears. Whether your goal is to make lifestyle changes or gain extra support to navigate through a difficult time in your life, consider taking that journey with me! I am here to help you navigate to the best version of you. I have 15 years of experience in multiple theoretical approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, solution focused therapy, and mindfulness. My expertise lies in: facilitating the process of developing healthy coping skills, regulating stress, learning mindfulness, processing unwanted feelings & emotions, developing effective communication habits, establishing boundaries, addressing triggers, and navigating life transitions.
My practice focuses on helping clients address concerns related to anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and relationship concerns (i.e. communication issues, lack of trust, recent break-up, etc.). As a therapist, I am down to earth and relatable. I value taking a directive approach in effort to getting to the root of the issue while helping you identify and implement effective coping strategies to help you live a more fulfilling life.

Greetings! I am a generalist trained counseling psychologist with several years of experience working with college students. This includes specialized training in working with student-athletes and teams. Older adolescents and young adults are ideal clients, though I have experience working with folks of all ages. My main areas of experience and interest include relational concerns, identity exploration, mood disorders, and trauma. In session we’ll work together with the understanding that you are the expert on yourself and my role is to support your growth. The therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change, and I foster a trusting and brave space for self-exploration and understanding. As a counseling psychologist, I trust that clients possess internal resources to help them navigate challenging experiences. Thus, part of our work together is to nurture and develop those resources so that they can be confidently implemented. My practice features interpersonal and feminist orientations to examine relational dynamics and patterns. Through these frameworks I consider how the impact of societal systems affects clients’ identities, current experiences, world views, and the therapeutic relationship. Therapy can provide a trustworthy and reflective space to understand ourselves differently, process interpersonal dynamics, and explore the impact of systems on our individual and collective experiences.
Managing school coursework, social commitments, family obligations, and future life planning can be a lot. College years can be really wonderful but can also become quite overwhelming at times. If you're finding it difficult to manage it all, let's talk. You've set out to better your life by earning a degree and you don't have to struggle through the experience. I work with clients attempting to manage increased feelings of anxiety and depression. Sometimes these feelings are due to the stress of increased demands and sometimes they seem to come out of no where. Partnering with a therapist can help identify your particular struggles and what may help to begin to improve things. Please feel free to check out my website for more information or to contact me directly to talk more.

My speciality is in reproductive health counseling. This can span from managing mental health issues alongside of reproductive health difficulties, family building and family planning.
I specialize in performance anxiety and high achievement challenges among musicians, graduate students, and creative professionals. Clients may look like they’re doing “fine” on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck internally. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, self-doubt, or fear of not measuring up even after success. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as ACT, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral strategies. I aim to create a space where you can think clearly, feel understood, and build tools that actually work in real life — whether that’s managing anxiety, rebuilding confidence, or navigating a major life transition. Therapy with me is practical, thoughtful, and growth-oriented. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Sometimes you just need space to reset, reflect, and move forward with clarity. Before I was a therapist I was a music professor, and I watched talented, driven students strive for excellence while quietly struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. Many were trying to meet not only external expectations, but the very high standards they set for themselves. Over time, I began to see a real need for therapists who truly understand the intense pressure of performance-driven environments. That realization led me to pursue clinical training. I understand what it feels like to care deeply about your work, your performance, and your future. I spent years in higher education and the performing arts, so I know firsthand the pressure that can come with auditions, exams, presentations, and high expectations. My path into therapy grew out of a desire to support people navigating those same pressures with greater clarity, steadiness, and confidence.
