As a first-generation college graduate and the first in my family to earn a degree, I understand the power of resilience and determination. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults and teens navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based strategies.

With a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, build coping skills, and cultivate resilience.

Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Let’s work together to create meaningful change and build a healthier, brighter future.

I practice through a trauma-informed lens, ensuring that my clients feel safe, heard, and empowered in their healing journey. I recognize the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and work to build resilience. I will tailor therapy to the individual, recognizing the intersectionality of identity, culture, and lived experiences. As a first-generation college graduate, I understand the complexities of navigating cultural expectations, systemic barriers, and personal growth. I believe in working alongside my clients, helping them discover their strengths, develop self-awareness, and create sustainable changes in their lives.
