You are the one everyone relies on - the strong one. Even when you’re running on empty, you keep showing up, holding it together, and pushing through. On the outside, you look composed. Inside, you might feel exhausted, unseen, or detached from yourself. I work with adults break free from patterns that keep them stuck in survival mode. We will work on reconnecting with your needs, rebuilding self trust, and creating a balanced, authentic relationship with yourself. I bring a compassionate, steady presence to therapy; no cold stares or awkward silences. Just a real human connection, where you can feel safe enough to show up. As a therapist for the past 9 years and someone who has navigated my own share of life’s complexities, I understand the invisible weight we often carry; anxiety, depression, expectations, and the pressure to hold everything together.

Choosing the right therapist is important, so I offer a free 15-20 minute phone or video consultation to discuss your needs and ensure we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure; this call is simply an opportunity for you to learn more and decide if you’d like to move forward with therapy. You may take your time after the call to decide whether to move forward.

I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, and that experience shapes everything about how I approach this work. I founded Accepting Psychology with a clear mission: to deliver dedicated, rigorous care to people who are too often underserved. I'm a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience across hospital and clinical settings, and I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and the specific challenges that come with men's mental health and major life transitions. I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and I'm here to provide a secure, affirming space where you can move at whatever pace feels right.

I live in San Francisco and am a wife, mother and cat parent. I enjoy swimming, gardening and walks and hikes. I enjoy travel and can speak some French
