Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for helping individuals-especially women and young adults-heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, and generational wounds. With years of experience supporting people through life transitions, identity development, and mental health challenges, I bring a culturally responsive and empowering approach to therapy. My background includes working in private practice, social services, and facilitating professional development programs and workshops for individuals and organizations. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in my professional background and lived experiences, allowing me to intuitively connect with you through a lens of empathy, cultural awareness, and practical insight.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in faith, solutions, and the transformative power of healthy relationships. I believe that healing happens when people are given the tools to reframe their thinking, renew their minds, and reconnect with their values. Whether you're unpacking childhood wounds, exploring identity, or navigating complicated relationships, I meet you where you are-with empathy, honesty, and hope. I often integrate spiritual principles, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and trauma -informed care to support you in your journey toward wholeness.

What you can expect from me

People that work with me can expect a therapeutic space that feels real, safe, and affirming. You'll walk away with practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and the confidence to set boundaries and empowered choices. My goal is for you to not just survive your story-but to rewrite it with intention, healing, and joy. Therapy with me is a collaborative journey where your voice is honored, your goals are centered, and transformation is always, always possible.
