Hailing from Brooklyn, NY and relocating to Texas within the last five years, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 8 years of experience.
I am looking to provide support for people who are facing life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, and self‐identity exploration.
First session
During the first session, we will discuss what brought you to this moment of change. We will also work to identify your overall goal and the baby steps to get to that goal. Afterwards, we'll take the next step in getting you closer to the life that you've been waiting for.
Strengths
While I enjoy focusing on your overall goal, I also think it's best to honor any positive strengths that led you to this moment. In this space, courage and resilience will always be acknowledged.
Ideal clients
I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families, of whom identify within various cultures and identities. I work to support clients to be able to re-imagine their lives without the burden of others' expectations, accept historical let downs, and evolve into their authentic selves. I especially look to support BIPOC women, ages 25-60, facing life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, and self-identity exploration. At this time, I will be offering couples therapy at the self-pay (cash) rate only
Treatment methods
Narrative
I affirm individuals and couples to identify who they are outside of roles given by cultural norms and expectations. I help clients navigate their now through disruption of people pleasing tendencies, stepping out of fear and anxiety, and supporting them to find their voice, and regain their confidence.
