New to Grow
Hello! Are you navigating a major life transition—moving from college into the “real world,” becoming an empty nester, redefining your identity, or questioning whether your relationship is still aligned? Maybe self-esteem challenges are showing up across different areas of your life. Maybe you’re struggling to set boundaries, avoid confrontation, or manage daily stress without feeling overwhelmed. If this resonates, you might have found the right space.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session with me is all about getting started in a way that feels comfortable and safe. We’ll take some time to go over the logistics, such as, scheduling, expectations, and any background information that helps me understand your needs. Beyond that, this session is really about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin building a sense of trust and comfort in our work together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident that this is a space where you can show up as your full self.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe mental health isn’t just about managing symptoms, it’s about balancing your mind, body, and spirit so you can thrive in all areas of life. Working closely with BIPOC clients, honoring the unique cultural, generational, and systemic experiences that shape your journey. In our work together, I blend evidence-based strategies with personalized care, helping you uncover patterns, build practical skills, and reconnect with your strengths. I bring warmth, authenticity, and curiosity to every session, creating a space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to experience real, lasting growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with young adults, professionals, and individuals across life transitions, especially those within BIPOC communities balancing personal growth with cultural expectations, generational patterns, and systemic stressors. As a therapist of color, I understand the layered experiences that can come with identity, achievement, family roles, and being “the strong one.” In our work together, you won’t have to over-explain your culture or minimize your experiences. You get to show up fully. In this season, and every season, it’s about YOU. That doesn’t mean we stop caring for others. It means we learn how to care for you so you’re not running on empty. We’ll focus on building confidence, strengthening boundaries, improving communication, and helping you feel grounded in who you are and how you want to show up. If you’re looking for a holistic approach that connects mind, body, and spirit while staying compassionate and practical, I’d love to connect. I bring intention, warmth, and good energy into every session. Bring your real self
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT serves as the foundation for most treatment modalities and presenting problems. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to create meaningful, lasting change.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
As a therapist of color, I provide culturally responsive care grounded in lived understanding and clinical expertise. I work closely with BIPOC clients to explore identity, systemic stressors, and generational experiences while honoring culture as a source of strength and resilience.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is integrated into sessions to build practical skills for managing emotions and navigating relationships. We will focus on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to create stability and confidence in daily life.
