I have been in the field of Social Work for 15 years and have worked with clients from multiple backgrounds with a wide range of needs. If you find yourself yearning for guidance and transformation and unsure of where to start, I am here to provide support. Grounded in social consciousness and a strengths based perspective, I specialize in assisting individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, frustration.

My approach to therapy

I offer a down-to-earth and empathetic approach, helping you navigate both maladaptive and healthy patterns. I use multiple modes of therapy to provide the support and assistance needed to help each individual to work through their specific concerns. Most often, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Strengths Based Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.
