Here to Help You Heal
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who works with adolescents and adults ages 16 to 60 and older. My areas of expertise focus on emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships, alongside anxiety, depression, mood management, life transitions, self-esteem, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
No matter what you’re facing, I look forward to helping you develop effective coping skills, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and build confidence in facing life’s challenges. This work starts with a belief in culturally responsive, compassionate, and individualized care, which helps me be a supportive, collaborative, and understanding partner in your therapeutic journey.
My Approach to Care
Care with me is patient-centered, empathetic, and collaborative. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood while developing the insight, coping skills, and confidence needed to create meaningful change in your life.
To support that change, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and supportive interventions to help you develop effective coping skills, improve emotional awareness, and build healthier relationship patterns. No matter the approach, treatment is always tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with an interest in psychology and a desire to help others, along with a recognition of how important it is to incorporate culture into mental health care. That led me to social work, where I had opportunities to support youth in different capacities and learn how to better understand their needs. An internship strengthened my commitment by helping me develop the skills and experience needed to support people in alleviating emotional distress and working through life’s challenges.
These experiences reinforced my belief that no single approach to therapy works for everyone. I bring this empathy, cultural awareness, and a commitment to understanding your unique experiences and needs to every session.
Personal Interests
Outside the therapy room, I enjoy reading and learning new things, spending time with family and friends, exploring new places and experiences, and listening to music. I also like watching movies or TV shows, taking care of myself and growing personally, and trying new activities and developing new skills.
