With over 15 years as an educator and mental health advocate, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating bereavement, loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, and racial trauma. My work centers on life transitions, offering compassionate guidance through vulnerable moments. I believe that people are the experts of their own lives. My role is to create a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. I approach each individual with respect for their lived experience, cultural identity, and inner resilience.
I bring an empathetic and non-judgmental presence to every therapeutic relationship. My practice is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for lived experiences. Whether we're navigating personal challenges, academic stressors, or complex transitions, I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported.
I approach therapy through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens, creating space for clients to name, explore, and heal from the impact of systemic inequities. I support clients in reclaiming their narratives, honoring their resilience, and moving toward healing that is culturally attuned.
