As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer culturally responsive therapy that honors your identity, history, and lived experience. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and intergenerational patterns. My approach is grounded, relational, and client-centered—rooted in trust, collaboration, and deep respect for your autonomy. I believe therapy is a space for authentic connection where we can slow down, gain perspective, and uncover strengths you may not yet recognize in yourself.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Together, we explore what’s getting in the way and begin to build insight and new patterns. I incorporate mindfulness and cognitive behavioral strategies to help you better understand your thoughts, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical tools to support everyday life.
I work especially well with those who are reflective, curious, and committed to growth. Whether you're processing systemic trauma or seeking tools for everyday challenges, my goal is to offer a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, or identity-related stress, often rooted in relationships, family dynamics, or life transitions. In our first sessions, we'll explore what's feeling heavy and create a supportive, personalized plan to move forward. Many clients begin to feel more grounded and empowered within the first few weeks, with continued growth over time.
