Overview

I admire the resilience I see in my clients and how they can rise and overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles. My expertise is working with children, teens and adults.

My work begins with connection and rapport building and is led by the client's needs. I work with individuals with anxiety, depression and anyone navigating life transitions. I am motivated to work with people of color. I believe in a strengths-based approach & use multiple modalities to help clients achieve their goals.

As a client of mine you’ll enjoy a calming experience where your therapist listens and offers support and validation. With me, you always have permission to be human and struggle at times. I am a nature-lover who turns to pilates and taking walks for relaxation.
