About My Clients

Are you trying to balance work, relationships, family, and cultural expectations? You may find yourself carrying many responsibilities while also trying to understand your own needs and what you truly want for your life. These are some of the people I especially enjoy working with. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the pursuit of their goals while managing the many demands of life.

My Background and Approach

Throughout my career, I have focused on understanding how evidence-based models of therapy can be adapted to better meet the needs of people of color and those with marginalized identities. My clinical training and lived experience have both shaped this work, giving me an appreciation for the ways culture, identity, environment, and life experiences influence how we understand ourselves and our mental health. I believe therapy should be responsive to each person’s unique experiences, values, and goals. My goal is to provide evidence-based care while honoring what matters most to you and supporting you in creating meaningful change. Ultimately, I want to help you find greater peace—whatever that may look like for you.
