Great to meet you!

I am a proud graduate of Johns Hopkins University, equipped with a strong educational foundation for my practice. My experience spans both schools and private practice, enabling me to connect effectively with children, teens, and young adults. I specialize in supporting people of color and marginalized groups, ensuring an inclusive and culturally sensitive approach. My expertise includes stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, social skills, and relationships.

My approach to therapy

In my role as a therapist, I adopt a holistic and solution-focused approach to treat individuals, addressing every facet of their well-being. My style is casual and relaxed, fostering a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere, often infused with a touch of humor when suitable.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Rather than just applying coping skills, I focus on uncovering the root of challenges. My goal is to equip clients with the tools to navigate life independently, making my role eventually unnecessary. They'll learn to balance positive and negative perspectives, steering clear of toxic positivity or negativity. They'll also cultivate humility to identify personal improvement areas and discern when external factors are in effect.
