Throughout our lives, we’re shaped as individuals by our experiences with family, friends, relationships, grief, and the challenges life throws our way. Yet, amidst these influences, it’s easy to forget to prioritize moments of self-care and grace. This realization is what led me to dedicate my career to the field of social work, with a specific focus on supporting individuals in their journey toward healing as a therapist.  I am deeply committed to making a profound impact on individuals’ lives through supportive and therapeutic counseling and psychoeducation. As a BIPOC woman, my personal lived experiences fuel my passion and dedication to marginalized and racial communities. I deeply understand the effects of intergenerational trauma and its influence on our identities and place in the world.

I believe in fostering a positive, comfortable, and secure therapeutic alliance with my clients. I have successfully helped individuals from diverse backgrounds, including children and adults struggling with emotional regulation issues, mental health challenges, and those facing family or relationship challenges. My specialization lies in providing collaborative, goal-focused therapeutic interventions to individuals navigating these complex life dynamics.

I recognize the intricacies involved in pursuing self-improvement, especially in cultures that stigmatize mental health. My approach seamlessly integrates evidence-based therapies such as ACT, CBT, DBT, Emotion Focused, and Narrative Therapy. Rooted in anti-oppression, my methods are person-centered and solution-focused. Understanding the inner work required to confront life’s challenges, I strive to facilitate positive transformations that guide individuals toward inner healing, peace, and fulfillment.
