Great to meet you!

Are you struggling to forgive yourself, feeling stuck professionally or personally, or having difficulty expressing yourself in relationships? Are parenting responsibilities overwhelming, or do you feel misunderstood as a child? You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or as though you’ve failed-Emotions aren’t always factual and can influence our actions. Life’s twists and turns create challenges, but together, we can navigate these obstacles and uncover your path to healing and growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As your therapist I will help you prioritize your peace. My goal is to collaborate with you on creating a plan that will assist in thinking well and living well. I will empower you to create healthy boundaries, and develop ways to support your journey; navigating life’s twist and turns. This is a judgement free zone and place where You are welcomed to be You.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a compassionate and affirming space where their experiences are deeply understood. I specialize in supporting women and BIPOC professionals, addressing challenges like cultural expectations, systemic inequities, and balancing personal and professional demands. Together, we’ll explore how these impact your mental health, process trauma, and build resilience. My goal is to empower you to prioritize your well-being, foster self-compassion, and thrive authentically.
