About My Clients

When life feels overwhelming—when loss, anxiety, trauma, depression, or relationship struggles weigh you down—you don’t have to face it alone. It takes courage to consider that something in your life is not working and that you may need help.

My Background and Approach

I offer a direct yet empathetic approach, creating a space where you can be heard, understood, and empowered. I will never judge you and will be at your side even during the darkest of times.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My path to becoming a therapist was forged through real-life experience—not just textbooks. I worked as a Parole and Probation Officer, and later as a Civil Rights Investigator—roles that revealed how trauma and injustice shape lives. Therapy became the next chapter of that journey. I’m here to help you write yours.
