As a woman of color and a therapist, I understand the unique pressures, expectations, and barriers that come with navigating both personal and professional spaces. I work with women who have carried the weight of childhood trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, workplace discrimination, anxiety, and depression for far too long.
In my practice, you will find a safe, judgment-free space where your voice is heard, your story is honored, and your healing is prioritized.
Together, we will unpack the experiences that have shaped you—whether they stem from family wounds, systemic inequities, or the aftermath of abusive relationships—so you can break cycles, build self-trust, and create the life you deserve.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy It is important to learn what thoughts, feelings, and situations are contributing to maladaptive behaviors. This process can be difficult, however, especially for people who struggle with introspection. Taking the time to identify these thoughts can also lead to self-discovery and provide insights that are essential to the treatment process.
