I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the heart behind Roots & Refuge Center. This work is deeply personal to me. As someone who has walked with communities through displacement, grief, and healing, I created this space to honor our collective need for belonging, restoration, and meaning.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in clinical excellence and cultural humility. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic-based healing, Emotionally-Centered CBT (ECBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy.
You’ve carried so much for so long, and you don’t have to anymore. At Roots & Refuge, you’ll find a soft place to land, where your story is honored and your healing matters. Whether you’re grieving, growing, or just trying to hold it all together, you’re not alone. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you.
