Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in California. I received my Master's from California State University, Fresno, and have been practicing in the medical social work field for over 20 years. And had a private practice for almost 2 years. I help my clients learn to put their thoughts and emotions into words and help them process their fear, anxiety, grief, depression, joy, dysfunctional family stress, learning disabilities, crazy ideas, and more. My goal is that they come away knowing they are seen, understood, and gently guided to know their own truth.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping Black and other underserved communities navigate stress, anger, trauma, depression, and anxiety. My approach is strength-based and culturally responsive, creating a supportive space to build on your resilience and move toward peace and healing. In our initial sessions, we'll take the time to get to know one another, explore the challenges you're facing, and identify the goals you hope to achieve in therapy. I'm deeply passionate about helping others thrive by turning pain into purpose, and I am committed to offering a helping hand to guide you on your journey.

Even though I am at a Christian counseling center, you do not have to have any spiritual or religious beliefs.
I meet people where they are at in their story. My goal is to walk along side people to discover their own resources for healing. I listen deeply. I bring a non judgmental presence that creates a safe place to talk about who they are, where they have been, and where they want to be. I am able to balance empathy with constructive challenge. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages that struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss and family dynamics.

“I should be better than this.” That critical voice can feel relentless, especially when careers, relationships, and expectations all collide. Maybe you’re burnt out, stuck in comparison, doomscrolling late at night, or repeating the same painful relationship patterns. You might even feel ashamed for needing help, telling yourself you should be able to handle this alone. If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Most people don't come to therapy because they've fallen apart. They come because they've held it together for so long that holding it together has become its own kind of suffering. I work with high-functioning adults — the ones who look fine on the outside but are running on empty inside. Competent, caring, and completely exhausted by their own patterns. Smart enough to know something has to change, but not sure where to start.

Aloha! I am so glad you are taking the next steps to embark on your therapeutic journey. I know you’ve probably been told that every therapeutic journey is different and maybe that scares you a bit because you’re looking for results, but hoping that they would’ve arrived yesterday. Times are hard, transitions are tough, and right now you’re hoping that the “change” you’re looking for would just happen. If this resonates with you at all, let’s connect! I want to be your biggest cheerleader, your sounding board, your calming presence, and your safe space.

When you lack satisfaction in your life it can impact your relationships at home and with friends; and can interfere with your job or other responsibilities. I would like to help you with understanding, addressing, and repairing damage to relationships and help you to enjoy your life.
