Great to meet you!

I'm dedicated to supporting you in reaching your personal goals through a holistic approach that considers both you and the influences shaping your life. My practice focuses on life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem, with a compassionate, inclusive approach for clients from diverse backgrounds. My journey to becoming a therapist was inspired by my desire to help others navigate life's challenges and embrace personal growth. Witnessing how life's changes impact individuals and their well-being sparked my passion for this field. Being from a diverse background fuels my commitment to providing an inclusive, supportive space for my clients.

My approach to therapy

I focus on the whole person within their environment, believing true healing comes from resolving issues creating imbalance. I utilize Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help clients achieve meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you're free to share your story at your comfort level. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy and any specific goals you may have, and start building a collaborative plan that aligns with your unique needs and aspirations.
