Great to meet you!

Life doesn’t always go as planned and at times it can feel overwhelming or hard to manage. My goal is to support you through life’s changes and challenges with care, understanding, and practical tools you can actually use.

As a woman of color, I understand how difficult it can be to talk about mental health. Navigating stigma, cultural expectations, and past experiences is a journey I’ve personally experienced. This is why I’m committed to creating a space where you feel heard, accepted, and comfortable showing up as your true self.

My approach to therapy

Working with me is a collaborative and personalized experience. My goal is to help you uncover the best version of yourself by recognizing and strengthening your inner resilience, while providing personalized tools to navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence. Each session is tailored around your needs and goals, supporting both healing and personal growth. I use a mix of therapy approaches, including but not limited to: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Sessions with me are a partnership, shaped around what you need most. We’ll take time to talk through your experiences, thoughts, and feelings in order to process. Then take time to build practical skills you can use in your daily life. Sessions are flexible and adapted to you. Making sure you feel supported, understood, and more confident to navigate life beyond the therapy room.
