Great to meet you!

I have 15 yrs of experience in the mental health field and I am committed to providing a haven for those who felt forgotten or had given up on themselves. I had the privilege of working with individuals across diverse ages, socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities. I have a background in sociology and social work that has equips me to comprehend both personal and systemic struggles. Through this lens, I integrate evidence-based modalities like DBT, MI, CBT and trauma treatments to empower you.
