It takes strength and bravery to let others witness our suffering and I will honor that in our work together. I want to assist you in this journey by use of empathy, compassion, attunement and humor. I will help you to embrace your current state while also teaching you how to navigate, contain and process feelings. The focus of my work is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

I specialize in attachment and developmental trauma, childhood/adulthood sexual abuse and domestic violence. I also have experience working with identity and sexuality, self-esteem, relationship conflicts, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I will help you to embody your emotional experience in order to feel relief and enhance personal growth.

My work has a psychodynamic framework with frequent use of Somatic Experiencing®, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. Please reach out for a free consultation. I welcome the opportunity to connect and look forward to hearing from you.

As a person of color, I understand the impact of culture and family on life experiences and societal constructs; I want to ensure that you feel safe without any judgment. We will work together, with you coming up with your goals and what you would like to work on as well as identifying the barriers that may prevent you from moving forward. Each session is gently tailored to the client’s needs and level of readiness to address them. As a therapist, I will support you to shift out of what is not necessary to get to what is most valuable to you. I practice through a solution-focused approach, client-centered therapy, and narrative therapy. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on your terms, and able to find meaningful purpose in work, family, friendships, spirituality, and all other life areas by taking it one day at a time!

I am a licensed psychotherapist working with adults, individuals, and couples, offering a warm, collaborative, and client-centered approach. My work is grounded in relational, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-informed care. Together, we explore how emotions, attachment experiences, and relationships shape your inner world while building practical tools for change.

I specialize in relationship dynamics, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, loneliness, grief, and emotional regulation. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected; from others, from themselves, or from a sense of meaning in their lives.

I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and challenged with compassion. Together, we focus less on finding perfect solutions and more on developing the capacity to navigate life’s complexities while fostering greater connection, self-understanding, and belonging.

I provide care for various forms of trauma, in particular complex intergenerational and racial wounds and their somatic impacts. Depression, anxiety and family conflict concerns are a few other areas I also specialize in. I help folx on the margins of dominant cultures navigate the intersectionality of identity.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a certified oncology social worker (OSW-C). I specialize in supporting individuals who are coping with a cancer diagnosis, have a loved one with cancer, or are grieving. I have been in the field for nearly a decade, but have worked in the oncology, palliative care and bereavement space for the past 6 years.

couples’ therapy, and treatment resistant individual therapy.
