Great to meet you!

I’m a warm, down-to-earth, and culturally responsive therapist who believes you deserve a space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted. I’m especially passionate about supporting teens and emerging adults, particularly those from Black and Hispanic communities, as they navigate anxiety, identity, relationships, perfectionism, and major life transitions.

My style combines compassion with honest feedback, practical tools, and accountability. You don’t need to have everything figured out or show up perfectly—just come as you are. We’ll focus on progress, not perfection.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and down-to-earth. I believe you are the expert on your own life, while my role is to offer support, honest feedback, practical tools, and gentle accountability as you work toward meaningful change.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate. Our sessions may focus on understanding patterns, managing anxiety and stress, strengthening emotional regulation, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and building confidence in your decisions.

Therapy with me is not about becoming perfect. It is about understanding yourself, recognizing your strengths, and making intentional changes that help you feel more grounded and confident in who you are becoming.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been feeling difficult, and what you hope will change. I’ll ask about your background, relationships, important experiences, strengths, and current stressors so I can understand you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms.

You can expect a supportive and judgment-free environment where you can be authentic, speak openly, and move at a pace that feels manageable. I will listen with compassion while also helping you recognize patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and put what we discuss into practice outside of therapy.

You do not need to arrive with the perfect words or a fully developed goal. We’ll clarify what you need and create a treatment plan together.
