LCSW, 8 years of experience
Navigating life between 11 and 25 can feel overwhelming. I specialize in supporting adolescents, teens, and young adults as they juggle school, family, identity, and the pressure to always be “the strong one.” My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to explain your background to be understood—a space that honors your story, culture, and values. I show up with empathy, honesty, and cultural understanding. I’m not here to “fix” you but to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what you’re carrying and creating room for reflection, healing, and growth. Whether you’re managing anxiety, family stress, identity questions, or just trying to feel like yourself again, I provide therapy that’s real, relevant, and safe. ***Please note: Appointments after 3pm are reserved for clients ages 11–18.
We’ll take our time. No pressure to spill everything all at once. I’ll ask some questions to get to know you, but most of all, I’ll listen. We’ll start building a connection and talk about what brought you here, what you need, and how I can support you moving forward. ***Please note: Appointments after 3pm are reserved for clients ages 11–18.
I’m down-to-earth, culturally aware, and genuinely care about your growth. I balance real talk with therapeutic tools, so sessions feel both validating and effective. Clients often say they feel safe, seen, and understood with me and that means everything.
I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults ages 11–25. If you’re tired of holding everything in, showing up strong for everyone else, and feeling unseen in the process—you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating stress, identity struggles, family drama, or just trying to make sense of it all, I’m here to help. I especially enjoy working with folks in this age range who are figuring out who they are, breaking generational cycles, and learning to set boundaries that protect their peace. ***Please note: Appointments after 3pm are reserved for clients ages 11–18.
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. In our sessions, we’ll work together to notice unhelpful patterns and practice healthier ways to cope, think, and respond to life’s challenges.
Our relationships shape how we see ourselves and others. In this approach, we explore how your past and present relationships impact your emotions, boundaries, and self-worth. Together, we work toward building healthier connections with others and with yourself.
I honor and respect your background, identity, and lived experiences. This means therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I create space for open conversations about culture, race, family, faith, and how these impact your mental health so you feel seen, heard, and supported as your full self.
I approach therapy with the understanding that past experiences can impact how you feel and function today. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where healing can happen at your pace without judgment or pressure.
This method focuses on your unique strengths, talents, and values. Instead of just focusing on what’s “wrong,” we’ll highlight what’s already working and build on that to help you reach your goals.
