Finding the right therapist is an important step in your healing journey. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—whether due to anxiety, substance use/addiction, trauma, loss, life transitions, or relationship challenges—I’m here to help. My goal is to provide culturally responsive care that honors your unique experiences, and empowers you to explore emotions, clarify values, form healthier relationships, and work through emotional struggles so you can live a more meaningful life. I help clients from diverse backgrounds build the courage to create change, manage mental health symptoms, and develop self compassion.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Processing Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience supporting youth and adults recovering from past trauma and those facing major life transitions. I aim to meet you where you are with warmth and empathy.
I offer virtual sessions to fit your schedule and make mental health care more accessible. Whether you are seeking short-term guidance or long-term support, I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.
