Great to meet you!

I'm someone who is passionate about growth! No matter what stage you are in life there is always room to learn another way to approach our lives, relationships, and decisions. My area of focus is working with women of color who are seeking support and guidance in improving their mental wellness due to stress, anxiety or trauma.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused techniques. That's the clinical way of saying I help you understand how your thoughts, feelings and actions/habits work together in your life. In those instances when a dive into your history isn't needed, we can just focus on figuring out a solution to the issue so it works for you.

What you can expect from our first session

You will walk away from our first session feeling empowered to know your decision to start therapy was a great one! You will also get knowledge, tools and strategies to work on the goals you identify matter to you.
