Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers a holistic, compassionate, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I specialize in supporting women, mothers, and people of color who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, trauma, and the impact of intergenerational cycles. I understand that many emotional struggles are connected not only to personal experiences, but also to family patterns and wounds that have been passed down over time. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can heal, build new patterns, and move toward a more empowered and grounded life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, integrative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. While drawing from evidence-based practices, I also value the connection between the mind and body and typically incorporate grounding tools, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness into my sessions.

Together, we may explore how anxiety, stress, trauma, and intergenerational patterns are held in the body and influence relationships, emotions, and coping responses. My goal is to help clients build awareness, regulation, and new patterns that create lasting change and a greater sense of balance.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a warm, supportive, and conversational space where we begin getting to know one another. I will ask questions about what is bringing you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from the process.
