Thanks for being here. I support teens, young adults, and families navigating trauma, grief, postpartum challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and maternal mental health. I also work with parents, high school students, and young adults experiencing stress, identity questions, impulse control, ADHD, and overwhelm from screens or modern pressures. Many of the people I work with feel like they’ve been “holding everything together” while quietly falling through the cracks. If that sounds familiar—you’re in the right place. My background includes years working in the Rochester City School District, supporting K–12 students and families.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care and mindfulness-based techniques. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—not an evaluation. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build emotional regulation and coping skills, and help you reconnect with your sense of identity, confidence, and stability.
I’ll take time to understand your story, stressors, strengths, and hopes for therapy. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your pace and honors your lived experience. A bit about me: I’m a mom of three, Rochester-born and raised, and family-oriented. I love to dance and listen to R&B and reggae. Music, culture, and connection are core of who I am.
