Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from yourself? Many clients are navigating ADHD, trauma, anxiety, cultural identity challenges, or life transitions—like choosing a career, becoming a parent, or adjusting to an empty nest. You don’t have to face it alone. Healing and growth are possible with the right support.
With over 20 years as a Clinical Social Worker, I offer trauma-informed, strengths-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. I help clients build coping skills, manage emotional impacts of ADHD, navigate cultural adjustment, process trauma, and find clarity in complex life transitions.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounding, and easy to talk to. My approach is collaborative, practical, and nonjudgmental. Together, we work to strengthen emotional stability, confidence, and resilience, helping you feel clearer, calmer, and more in control of your life.
