About My Clients

My ideal clients are high achieving professionals who manage careers, responsibilities, and expectations well on the outside but feel stretched thin internally. They may struggle with anxiety, burnout, overthinking, grief, or relational stress. They are ready for honest reflection, practical tools, and focused work that leads to sustainable change.

My Background and Approach

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of clinical experience, I bring depth, structure, and practical insight to the therapeutic process. My background includes working with individuals navigating complex stressors, high performance roles, and significant life transitions. This experience allows me to quickly assess underlying patterns, identify contributing factors, and tailor treatment to your specific goals. I specialize in anxiety, burnout, grief, and performance related stress. Many of my clients are high functioning professionals who manage responsibility well outwardly but feel mentally or emotionally stretched thin. I help driven individuals increase emotional awareness, challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and build sustainable systems that support long term balance and resilience. My approach is both supportive and direct, offering clarity, accountability, and measurable progress as you move toward meaningful change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Outside of my clinical work, I value service and community engagement. I have donated food to individuals experiencing homelessness and have been involved in a local development now known as Trauma Resilience Inc Healing Village, formerly Hear4U, supporting trauma informed community initiatives. I identify as a BIPOC therapist and am committed to providing culturally aware, inclusive care. I believe in integrity, accountability, and meaningful growth. For clients who desire it, faith and spirituality can be thoughtfully integrated into our work.
