Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I am a dedicated therapist with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, passionate about helping adults navigate life’s complex challenges and find their footing again. My clinical framework combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help you understand your thought patterns while building practical tools for growth. I support individuals through trauma, abandonment, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, and major life transitions.

I also maintain a deep commitment to cultural competence and identity-affirming care. I provide a safe, deeply collaborative space for people of color and the LGBTQ community navigating the profound stress, exhaustion, and trauma that often stem from modern racial tensions and discriminatory practices.

I firmly believe that you already possess the core tools needed for healing. My role is to help you uncover your own inner awareness, deep insights, and personal strength. Together, we will cultivate lasting inner peace and empower you to move forward through a lens that is positive, productive, and deeply validating to who you are.
