As a compassionate and accepting therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Using a trauma-informed approach, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, manage emotions, and break free from unhelpful patterns. My goal is to foster resilience, healing, and personal growth with empathy, warmth, and understanding.

In the private telehealth setting, with a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, we can explore the sources of your stress, change destructive behaviors, and the root of thought patterns, relationship interactions, and overall life improvement together.
My work is rooted in the belief that every person has inherent worth and the potential for transformation. In therapy, I tailor my approach to each client’s specific needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness practices. By blending these techniques with a faith-based perspective, I aim to provide care that feels both practical and spiritually grounded.
I work with individuals who are struggling with emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, and challenging relational dynamics.

I am passionate about helping couples, families, individuals, and teens navigate life’s challenges to improve their quality of life, overall wellbeing, and interpersonal relationships.

My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck.

At Newport Academy, we address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms.

You put on a brave smile and say you’re fine when you know you’re not. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’re isolated because you don’t recognize the woman you see in the mirror. You’re confused because you’ve lost sight of who you are. Even the relationships you care most about are now draining you. All your duties just keep piling on and you’re forced to keep bearing through it. Therapy can help untangle life's messiness.

I offer a safe space for your pain and heartbreak, whether you long for a deep change or want a short-term symptom relief now. I support clients who struggle with high stress and anxiety, heartbreak of grief and loss, effects of childhood, generational and relational trauma, and help couples and relationships resolve conflict, improve communication and restore trust. I support high achieving teens and high functioning adults struggling with exhaustion, burnout, perfectionism and self-doubt.
