You deserve a space where you don't have to hold it together, perform, or start from scratch every time. Whether you're navigating anxiety, a major life transition, or questions about who you are and where you're headed, I'm here to help you gain real insight, challenge what's holding you back, and grow into a more confident, authentic version of yourself. I specialize in supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults - with a particular commitment to people of color who shouldn't have to shrink, explain, or justify their experience before the real work can begin.
I'm warm, but I don't sugarcoat. I call it like I see it. My approach is strengths-based and grounded in CBT, helping you identify the patterns keeping you stuck while building on what's already working. Sessions are collaborative and real. I'll laugh with you, challenge you when you need it, and root for you every step of the way.
I became a therapist because I saw firsthand how transformative the right support can be- and I never looked back. Watching people grow into more confident, authentic versions of themselves is the most rewarding part of what I do. I'll bring that same energy to every session we have together. Book a FREE 15 minute consultation today.

My core focus is anxiety, life transitions, and identity. The moments when life shifts and you're figuring out who you are on the other side.

I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based approach, helping you understand the thoughts and patterns keeping you stuck while building on what's already working. My style is collaborative and direct, always tailored to where you are, not where others think you should be.
