With extensive experience as a therapist, social worker, and advocate, I am passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in mental health, trauma, racial and social justice, child welfare, and community engagement. My approach is holistic, client-centered, and rooted in cultural humility.
I understand that healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. I work collaboratively with clients to create a safe, affirming space where they feel empowered to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and move toward positive change.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, family dynamics, racial identity, or life transitions, I am here to support you.
