Great to meet you!

Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and prepared to make lasting, positive change. Having worked with diverse populations within an urban setting, my experience building rapport and promoting empowerment and resilience has been of great value in my work in the therapy realm. I have over 10+ years experience in upper management, this experience is an advantage when providing therapy to professionals seeking support with life transitions, work/life balance as well as work relationships. Individuals seeking and accepting help is a HUGE step towards balance and stability. With a culturally responsive lens, it is my hope to guide and support you on your mental health journey.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based and focused on providing guidance as you navigate life challenge. My contribution to your mental health journey entails helping you process choices that lead to better decision making and relationships. My role is to empower you to work towards healthy outcomes that improve your overall quality of life.

What you can expect from me

A safe, listening environment is provided on day one. This is achieved through conversations and determining if I am the most appropriate clinician to meet your needs. Once we confirm this is a good therapeutic fit, we will begin the journey towards improved mental wellness and peace in your day-to day. At our first session, we will begin treatment planning and develop a schedule that works best for you.
