You are not alone
My goal is to help you grow your wings and fly
by bringing energy and playfulness to our time together
I want you in charge, not your symptoms
I believe we can achieve that goal together by both showing up to our practice ready to work, learn, and grow.

My expertise involves providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), social skills building, self esteem & self confidence building, multicultural therapy for minoritized youth, CBT for trauma, and parenting education. I also provide support, education, and consultation to parents of people living with severe and chronic mental illness like schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and bipolar disorders.
CBT offers skill building to manage and decrease symptoms with the goal of improved functioning. My philosophy is not about "fixing" anyone but giving skills in order to live your life as you want. I want you in charge, not your symptoms. I offer exposure therapy for anxiety disorders as well as supportive employment for young adults finding their way.
The goal of this type of therapy is to improve quality of life. You will learn skills to regulate mood and anxiety symptoms, explore what it means to be your best self, and live the life you want. I help my patients find joy and be able to say yes to things in life. CBT works by giving homework each session as only applied knowledge is power.
