About me
I am an an experienced psychotherapist who is passionate about helping adults and young adults create greater psychological flexibility and reduce suffering.
I work with adolescents and adults looking to overcome anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, spirituality, and race-related stress. My goal is to create a calm, safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow into your fullest self. I view therapy as both an emotional and cognitive journey—one that invites authenticity, builds security, and helps you live with deeper understanding and purpose.
I bring warmth, wisdom, and gentleness into every session, creating a space where acceptance leads to growth. I often draw inspiration from music, film, and the world around us—reminding us that healing doesn’t exist in isolation but in all the moments that move and inspire us.
Starting therapy may feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to. I bring trust, compassion, and a steady presence to each session, walking beside you as you take on new challenges. Together, we’ll engage in this process with courage, openness, and care.
