About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals who are navigating the challenges of trauma, emotional pain or self-discovery. These are individuals who are ready to take brave steps toward healing and personal growth. I specialize in working with those who want to feel heard, understood and empowered to reclaim their lives and find peace. Together we work to create goals that align with their hopes and needs, building resilience and fostering a strong connection to their authentic selves.

My Background and Approach

There is nothing I haven't overcome. Working with me is a collaborative and compassionate experience. I create a warm, safe and judgement-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story and even have a few laughs. My approach is empathetic and tailored to your unique needs, helping process, build strength, and move forward in a way that feels empowering to you. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering support and tools to help you overcome your struggles and embrace healing at your own pace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Active in the community in various capacities including outreach and awareness on Fentanyl Epidemic, volunteering in Building Capacity for Clinicians of Color, give back drives, Mental healed and BIPOC panels. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing, no matter their past experiences or current struggles. Guided by a commitment to empathy, authenticity and connection. I value creating space where clients can be seen and understood and accepted. As a therapist inspired by personal experiences, I am passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and empowering individuals to embrace their journeys with courage and hope.
