Here to Help You Heal 

As an empathetic and trauma-informed clinical social worker with more than 5 years of experience, I specialize in culturally sensitive, individual therapy for adolescents and adults seeking support in improving their mental well-being. 

My approach is warm, integrative, collaborative, and humanistic to guide you through impactful life changes while better understanding past and current lived experiences. I am passionate about leading you toward a happier future through the use of evidence-based modalities that build genuine trust, increase resilience, and promote personal growth.  

If you’re struggling with life stressors related to your mental health, physical health, traumatic experiences, and/or relationships, then I am here for you. I look forward to collaborating in our work together. 

My Approach to Care 

 
I believe in trust and transparency at all times, which helps me be an honest, supportive, and empowering clinician focused on your healing. Working together, you can expect a safe and nonjudgemental environment that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Treatment may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other behavioral modalities to improve your well-being.  

A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care 

My path to becoming a therapist began with crisis-based work within diverse communities, and recognizing the consistent need and importance of having access to quality mental health care. This experience deepened my commitment to providing trauma-informed mental health services to marginalized communities and diverse populations, bringing genuine compassion and understanding to each session. 

Personal Interests 

In my free time, I love showcasing my creative side by creating art through different mediums. I also enjoy unwinding by reading, traveling, and being out in nature.
