Great to meet you!

Seeking support takes courage, and if you’ve made it this far, you’ve already taken an important first step. At Chosen Path Wellness, I bring over 6 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply trying to make sense of life’s transitions. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and culturally sensitive space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported—just as you are.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and strength-based. I often draw from CBT, trauma-informed care, and behavioral therapy to help clients better understand themselves, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you discover the tools, strengths, and inner resources you already carry.

I specialize in working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals and am deeply committed to providing affirming, inclusive care. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or relationship stress, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you at your pace.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect to feel heard, supported, and accepted for who you are. We’ll work together to explore what’s going on in your life, build on your strengths, and develop tools that actually feel useful day to day. My hope is that you leave each session with a little more clarity, confidence, and a sense that you don’t have to navigate things alone.

At Chosen Path Wellness, I believe therapy is about walking with you as you carve out the path that feels right for you—one rooted in growth, healing, and authenticity. If you’re ready to start this journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
