Great to meet you!

I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by work stress, family dynamics, relationship strain, and the pressure of trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are trying to manage anxiety, set better boundaries, make time for themselves, and figure out how to move through life changes without feeling constantly drained. Some are navigating divorce, complicated parental relationships, family chaos, caregiving stress, or the emotional impact of raising a child with disabilities or health challenges. Others are trying to build confidence in the workplace, navigate tokenism and racial identity in the workplace, and find steadier footing in friendships, relationships, and everyday life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you feel both understood and equipped. Together, we work on managing stress, regulating emotions, building self-esteem, improving communication, and creating healthier boundaries at work, in relationships, and within family dynamics. I help clients look at the patterns that are leaving them overwhelmed, overextended, or stuck, while building coping tools that help daily life feel more manageable. My goal is to help you move forward with more clarity, confidence, and balance.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we will talk about what has been feeling hardest lately, what pressures or patterns are showing up in your life, and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now. Whether you are dealing with workplace stress, family conflict, grief, divorce, caregiving challenges, identity stress, or relationship issues, you will have space to share what is going on. Together, we can begin identifying goals and creating a plan that feels practical, thoughtful, and tailored to your needs.
