I offer cultural sensitivity to the Black & Brown, LGBTQIA+ community.
I enjoy caring for my clients, who struggle to feel loved and cared for daily. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, major life changes, and couples and families who experience chronic relationship conflict. Many of my clients feel like their emotional needs aren’t being met. They feel guilty for wanting more in their lives and have difficulty advocating for themselves. I use EMDR, a structured yet flexible approach, to help clients process their trauma, reduce psychological distress, and promote healing and emotional well-being.

I believe that we sometimes need additional support as we navigate our unique journey in life. As a young adult in my early twenties, I met with my first counselor who introduced me to a group counseling experience that brought life-changing spiritual and emotional transformation. Although I had come to counseling for one problem in my life, the therapeutic process illuminated so much more than what I could articulate or even knew I needed. This initial encounter is what drew me toward the counseling profession and deepened my passion and motivation for helping others in the same way that I have been helped.

Surviving or thriving? I work with adults who are capable and committed yet worn down by burnout, chronic stress, mental health conditions, or major life transitions. Many have spent years holding it together in demanding workplaces or family systems, feeling depleted, vigilant, and unsure how to move forward. They want steadiness, clarity, and confidence—relief from survival mode and a way to care for themselves that feels intentional and aligned. My goal is to support you in restoring self-trust, strengthen agency, and make choices that support a more sustainable, grounded life.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure how to navigate life in a world that wasn’t built for their brain—or for their child’s. They may be autistic or neurodivergent and struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationships, self-esteem, or identity. They are seeking understanding, clarity, and practical tools rather than pressure to change who they are. Their goal is to feel validated, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and authentic.
