I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families thrive. I have extensive experience supporting diverse communities across various mental health settings and take pride in creating safe, compassionate spaces for healing and growth.

My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and strengths-based, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. I integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies, while also encouraging self-care, balance, and personal growth beyond the therapy space. I value cultural responsiveness and view each person through a lens of resilience and possibility.
