Are you feeling overwhelmed by academic pressures, workplace stress, or navigating the challenges of being a first-generation individual? Perhaps you’re managing race-related stress, career changes, or prenatal/postpartum concerns. If these resonate with you, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, identify your needs, and develop personalized goals to foster growth and build meaningful solutions that improve your well-being.
With over 18 years of experience in social services, I specialize in supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, and medical-related challenges. I use solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you uncover the root of your concerns and create actionable strategies for lasting change.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
