About My Clients

I practice a mixed therapeutic approach that is centered around accountability and meeting you where you are. I believe all clients have exactly what they need to be the best versions of themselves and together we will work to help you access those skills. If you can name it you can tame it, is my motto!

My Background and Approach

I have a variety of experiences in the field from previous lived experience growing up with a family member with severe mental illness to choosing to start my professional career. Thus far I’ve worked in the sex offense, domestic violence, forensic, community mental health and care management spaces of social work.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I operate from a trauma focused, racially informed lens. This is a safe space and it helps to not have to explain what it is to be a POC on top of trying to receive therapy. I believe our experiences greatly impact how we see the world and I am not here to put help you put on rose colored glasses but more to help you give yourself some grace and space because life can be tough, especially when we are outside of the normative boxes.
