Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping adults navigate life’s challenges and discover their strengths. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and bring four years of experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, relational issues, ADHD symptoms, and the impacts of generational trauma.

My work is deeply rooted in understanding the complexities of racial and gender identities, and I strive to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel seen and heard. I believe that healing begins with connection, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as we explore your story, unpack challenges, and work toward meaningful growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your experiences, uncover strengths, and create meaningful change. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and cultural humility, ensuring that you feel supported and understood in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care to help adults navigate challenges.

Therapy with me is not just about addressing symptoms—it’s about understanding the person holistically. Whether we’re working on building coping skills, improving relationships, or processing past experiences, my goal is to empower you to live a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
