About My Clients

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples. My clients are typically navigating relationship, career, and sometimes racial stressors. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have worked with clients from all walks of life, but a large portion of my clients are Black and Brown folk who are looking for a safe space with someone who looks like them.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed mental health counselor who holds board certification as a national certified counselor. I believe in taking a person-centered approach, which means getting to know you as an individual and how your life circumstances have influenced who you are today. This helps to get to the root cause of issues, and then we will work together to foster growth and achieve your goals. I believe in bringing in humor and personality to the session, but I will also challenge and hold you accountable by utilizing CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and MI (motivational interviewing).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly value cultural humility. Cultural differences shape our worldview & mental health, and are deserving of being discussed in the therapeutic space. I have served on several DEI committees as a co-chair and member.
