LMHC, 20 years of experience
I am a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping individuals heal from past trauma and navigate life's challenges. With extensive experience working in diverse communities, I provide a supportive and empathetic environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and improve their relationships. My passion lies in guiding clients on their journey toward resilience and self-discovery, empowering them to reclaim their well-being and lead fulfilling lives.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. We will begin by discussing your background and the reasons that brought you to therapy, allowing me to better understand your unique experiences and challenges. I will also explain my approach to counseling and provide an overview of what therapy typically looks like. This is a collaborative process, so I encourage you to ask any questions you may have. Together, we will identify your goals for therapy and discuss how we can work towards achieving them. By the end of the session, you can anticipate feeling heard and understood, with a clearer sense of the journey ahead. My aim is to ensure you leave feeling hopeful and empowered to take the next steps toward healing.
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in creating a down-to-earth and relaxed environment that fosters trust and openness. I believe that a comfortable space is essential for effective therapy, and I strive to help clients feel at ease as they navigate their thoughts and emotions. . Additionally, my ability to actively listen and provide empathetic support ensures that clients feel genuinely understood and valued.
I am best positioned to serve individuals who are seeking healing from past trauma, particularly those from diverse communities who may have faced unique cultural challenges. My ideal clients are often those who experience anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties and are ready to engage in the therapeutic process with openness and a willingness to do the work necessary for personal growth
I found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy effective in helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, which often contribute to emotional distress. In sessions, I guide clients through the process of recognizing and understanding these patterns. We work collaboratively to develop coping strategies and practical skills that empower you to manage your symptoms more effectively

I absolutely love my therapist. She’s incredibly easy to talk to, genuinely kind, and such a great listener. I always feel heard and supported during our sessions. She provides clear, practical advice and guidance that actually helps me make progress. I also really enjoy the convenience of virtual sessions — they’ve made it so easy to stay consistent with therapy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, caring, and supportive therapist who truly wants to help you grow.

I feel supported. Many tools are offered. I believe we started working together at the right time and that her style of therapy is what I need to address my trauma history.
