About
Having personally known the impact of hardship and poverty, I bring a deeply empathetic, trauma-informed approach to walking alongside others as they heal, grow, and rebuild their lives.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and create lasting change. I work with adults and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we uncover strengths, build resilience, and foster self-compassion. My trauma-informed approach creates a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and discovery at your own pace.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Massachusetts Global. My practice integrates person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches. I support clients in rebuilding confidence, developing coping skills, and finding meaning through authenticity, trust, and shared understanding.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we can work toward stability, healing, and positive change. I’m honored to walk beside you on your journey toward a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling life.

I work with those navigating stress, anxiety, family transitions, cultural identity concerns, adjustment, depression, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients seek to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, and build confidence. As a Christian and a minority, I bring a perspective grounded in faith, resilience, and cultural understanding, creating an affirming space for clients who value the integration of their beliefs in the healing process.

I know that seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to walk this path on your own. As a Christian, I believe in the power of hope, healing, and renewal, and I strive to create a space where faith and therapy can work hand in hand.

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) who believes you are enough exactly as you are. I provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and everyday stressors.

My approach is strength-based, solution-focused, and grounded in mindful CBT. I work collaboratively with clients who are ready to explore new perspectives and challenge unhelpful patterns. Together, we identify practical tools and meaningful steps toward greater confidence, clarity, healthier relationships, and lasting growth.
Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out—just be willing to begin. I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and move at a pace that honors your journey. If you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin exploring what meaningful change can look like for you.

I spent many years working in the entertainment industry before returning to school to pursue my passion for helping others and creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am currently an ACSW working toward licensure, with training in trauma-informed care, substance abuse, and Motivational Interviewing.
