Great to meet you!

Years ago I visited Ghana and was introduced to a symbol called the Sankofa. The Sankofa translates into go back and fetch and symbolizes the importance of looking to your past to reclaim the strength and wisdom that's been left behind. Often, pieces of our past may feel too painful or overwhelming to revisit. However, through my clients I've seen firsthand that even in some of the most challenging and traumatic experiences often lies perseverance, strength, and growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in working with individuals with a variety of mental health and substance use challenges, trauma, and overall difficulty coping with the range of obstacles life throws at them. I am also experienced in using a multicultural framework to explore various aspects of cultural identity, and integrating those identities into treatment.

What you can expect from our first session

I take a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach with all of my clients. I view my role as not just giving you the space to talk about your problems, but empowering you to develop the skills and insight needed to make changes you want.
