About My Clients

I support adults navigating anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, and systemic stress. Many of my clients are people of color, first-generation professionals, or LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking a therapist who understands the complexity of their experience. Together, we create space for clarity, healing, and growth.

My Background and Approach

I earned both my Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montclair State University, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in Psychodynamic and Existential approaches. This means I help clients explore how early life experiences, unconscious beliefs, and patterns shaped by identity and culture continue to influence their lives today. I also integrate techniques from CBT and mindfulness-based practices when helpful. At the heart of my work is a belief that therapy should be a collaborative space where you feel seen and heard. Whether we’re exploring past wounds, current struggles, or future goals, I meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect. Together, we’ll deepen insight, build coping tools, and reconnect you to a stronger, more grounded sense of self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and change—especially when supported in a space where they feel safe, respected, and understood. Therapy can be that space. I see my role as a collaborator and witness to your process, helping you access clarity, resilience, and deeper connection to yourself. From a young age, I’ve been drawn to being of service and holding space for others. As a therapist of color, I’m especially passionate about working with clients navigating the intersections of culture, identity, and systemic stress. I’ve spent the past eight years creating spaces where clients feel empowered to explore their stories and reclaim their voice. In addition to my private practice, I’ve worked in outpatient mental health agencies and in-home therapy settings, supporting individuals, adolescents, families, and couples from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
