As a member of the mental health profession, I am deeply humbled to be invited to share in the experiences of those who have struggled, it is a calling which I do not take lightly and strive to develop hope in all those I come in contact with. I have worked with families, children, adults and couples in community mental health, hospital and group private practice settings. I have experience working with those who struggle with complex trauma, mood disorders, transitions and interpersonal relationships.

I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families across healthcare, community mental health, child welfare, and private practice settings. My background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, parenting stress, and complex family dynamics.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and grounded in trust. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a compassionate and culturally responsive lens that honors each client’s unique experiences and strengths.

I am trained in several evidence-based modalities, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

My goal is to help clients increase insight, build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or caught between various obligations, you are not alone. I offer my clients with support to navigate their way through life challenges.

My focusI specialize in working with adults and families that need assistance in navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD symptoms, and relationship stress. My focus is on assessing how clients' circumstances stem from various life challenges- especially immigration and intergenerational experiences.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, CA, and I’ve worked in mental health care since 2012. My background includes community-based work, trauma-informed care, and leadership in training and clinical development. I earned my MSW from NYU and specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults navigating changes - career shifts, identity questions, or simply trying to feel more at home in themselves. Clients often say they feel safe, understood, and more at ease after we talk. I believe therapy works best with a good sense of humor - even in hard sessions, there’s room for relief and laughter.

I am an African American woman with over 32 years of experience providing social service and therapeutic support to marginalized families who have experienced trauma — from Criminal Justice involvement, Adult and Child Protection systems, to housing insecurity, intimate partner violence and substance use challenges. I also have a deep passion for working with pregnant and postpartum individuals navigating pregnancy loss, perinatal mood disorders, leading to postpartum depression and anxiety. It is also important for me to hold space for Fathers who are navigating raising children as single fathers.

My therapeutic approach creates a safe, compassionate space where we partner together to challenge unhealthy beliefs, reduce shame and guilt, and address traumatic experiences at whatever pace feels right for you.

While my work is primarily centered with the BIPOC community — African American women specifically — it is my goal that no individual ever feel alone when dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma. Through active listening and gentle, honest dialogue, I partner with individuals to uncover what is keeping them stuck and walk through those hard places together — building trust, fostering resilience, and creating a real sense of freedom for themselves and their families.
