Great to meet you!

My career spans 25+ years and my journey in social work has been deeply personal and fulfilling. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in Social Work and enjoy working with adults, BIPOC, people experiencing challenges and transitions, looking for guidance and support in their healing journey!

Daily reminders: "Live in POSSIBILITY... Adapt an attitude of gratitude!...God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..."

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered and rooted in evidence-based practices. I use a variety of models tailored to your unique needs. I help my clients gain a deep understanding of themselves, move beyond feelings of paralysis, and create clear paths forward.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where you can explore, share your personal history and grow.
