As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I help diverse populations from various cultural, socioeconomic, and spiritual backgrounds navigate a wide range of stressors. I work particularly well with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating life transitions, identity development, self-esteem, stress/anxiety, trauma, and loneliness.
My own experience with an amazing therapist taught me the value of providing sensitive, compassionate care. That’s why it remains my mission to offer a safe, supportive space for every patient, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks, to ensure everyone feels seen. If you are feeling overwhelmed or “stuck in a rut,” or need support in reconnecting with your life/life purpose, then please reach out today to start your healing journey.
It takes courage to ask for support, and I applaud you for taking that step. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen deeply and offer guidance and tools that will help you navigate life’s challenges. I create a space where you can be your authentic self, free from shame or criticism. Working with me is safe, collaborative, and like having a “professional friend.”
Whether you’re looking to work through specific challenges or simply want to understand yourself better, I provide the compassionate, open-minded, and client-centered approach that helps you achieve your goals. I utilize a mix of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an overall holistic view of healthcare to personalize treatment, steering clear of clinical coldness and accepting you exactly where you are. Working together, you’ll achieve self-discovery, healing, and growth so you can lead a more fulfilling life.
At the young age of 13, I required emergency heart surgery, an event that shaped my future in unexpected ways. At that time, I felt like I had nobody I could talk to about how anxious I was, and most doctors dismissed my concerns because I was young. This experience started me on the path to becoming a therapist, deepening my commitment to making sure that all of my patients feel respected, engaged, and listened to. I want you to know that you are not broken and that you have everything you need within yourself to heal and thrive.
I consider myself a lifetime learner and am always looking for ways to improve myself and the world around me. Whether I’m reading, writing, listening to music, watching movies and documentaries, hanging out with friends and family, or exploring new restaurants and places, I’m embarking on my pursuit of making the most out of every chapter of my life!
