About
As a woman of color who has known both trauma and healing, I am deeply committed to helping individuals build the capacity to rediscover safety, strength, and self-connection.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. I approach each person’s story with empathy and curiosity, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, helping clients build awareness, regulate emotions, and shift unhelpful patterns. I blend structure with compassion to support clients move toward meaningful personal growth.
I know reaching out for help takes courage. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as you build insight, confidence, and self-trust. Together, we’ll work to create lasting change that feels both sustainable and authentic.
