I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or out of balance despite managing daily responsibilities. Many are navigating stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or life transitions and are ready for meaningful change but unsure where to start. I help clients move forward using practical, solution-focused strategies, CBT techniques, and mindfulness tools to build clarity, strengthen coping, and take intentional action. Together, we focus on helping you regain control, improve your overall well-being, and create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with both your responsibilities and the things you truly want.

As a woman of color and a proud veteran, I understand the unique challenges that veterans and active-duty service members of color face. Whether dealing with PTSD, relationship issues, depression, substance abuse, or the uncertainty of military life, I’m here to help you navigate these struggles and find healing. I've been through it myself, and I’ve learned that with the right support, even the toughest times can lead to growth.
The uncertainty of military service—constant deployments, the unknown future, and the strain on personal and professional life—can be overwhelming, especially for veterans and active-duty members of color

I focus on three areas I have come to know deeply, both clinically and personally: complex and generational trauma, adult children of narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can appreciate and understand the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you and having to create a new identity after these experiences.
Together, we explore how these issues shape you and create a new one.
