About
Are you, a family member, or a friend experiencing emotional difficulty? Are you anxious, depressed, feeling unfulfilled or lonely? If you answered yes to any of these questions I am here to support you! I utilize an array of therapeutic approaches to assist my clients in creating wellness. I specialize in systems and family dynamics. I have a strong love for community and cultural matters and I prioritize cultural awareness. I strive to support my clients in embracing their strengths, acknowledging their areas of growth, and creating a life desired.
If you are new to therapy or experienced, I am eager to journey with you on your path to wellness. I provide a safe space where you are free to explore your emotions and patterns of behavior. I advocate for healthy living by providing awareness, education, and guidance.
If you are ready to begin your journey please contact me. My schedule is flexible including evening and weekends. I'm conveniently located off the Farragut North (Red Line) Metro and two blocks from Farragut West (Orange, Blue and Silver Lines) Metro. Come see me! I'd love to join your wellness village!
