I have spent 25 years in the mental health field, earning a PhD in international counseling and gaining hands-on experience in community mental health settings across Kansas City and Chicago. I am licensed as an LPC in Missouri and an LCPC in Kansas. My cross-cultural training and broad clinical background give me the tools to support adults navigating complex challenges, including serious conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
My approach is rooted in over two decades of work with diverse populations and shaped by a cross-cultural perspective. I meet clients where they are, honoring their individual strengths and lived experiences. I focus on building a collaborative, trusting relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. Whether you are managing a mood disorder, psychosis, or everyday life stressors, I tailor my work to fit your specific needs and goals.
In our first session, I will take time to get to know you, your background, your strengths, and what has brought you to therapy. There is no pressure to have all the answers when we first meet. I want you to feel heard, respected, and comfortable. Together, we will begin to build a picture of your goals and what meaningful progress looks like for you. I see clients via telehealth, so you can access care from wherever you are most at ease.
