Choosing a therapist is an important step, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to help you move toward the life you want to live.

My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I recognize that every individual's experiences are shaped by their unique cultural, ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic background, and I tailor therapy to honor those experiences while meeting your specific needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I help clients process and heal from trauma, distressing life experiences, anxiety, and other challenges that may be keeping them feeling stuck.

I believe that you already possess many of the strengths needed to navigate life's challenges. My role is to help you identify those strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and build on the resources available through your support system, community, and mindfulness practices. Together, we will work toward meaningful, lasting change that aligns with your values and goals.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy can provide a place to gain clarity, healing, and resilience. I am committed to creating a safe, empowering, and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career
