(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, with over 14 years of experience in the field. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC), and my passion is supporting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) adult women through healing and life transitions. My approach is rooted in cultural competence and empathy, recognizing the unique challenges faced by BIPOC women in navigating both personal and professional struggles. Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, struggling with self-doubt, or looking to heal from emotional wounds, I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and find the tools to move forward with confidence. Throughout my practice, I integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a holistic understanding of identity, culture, and resilience. My goal is to empower you to break through barriers, build healthier relationships, and live a life aligned with your values and aspirations.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a warm, patient, and nonjudgmental approach, offering a space where your feelings and experiences are validated and affirmed.

Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a tool that helps us find and focus on deeply stored emotions and experiences that are hard to reach with just our thoughts or words. It allows us to process and release these feelings, even when they're out of conscious awareness, helping to heal emotional and physical symptoms that might have been lingering for a long time.
Somatic
By exploring how physical tension and sensations reflect emotional experiences, somatic therapy helps you release trauma stored in the body. I often use techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, and visualization to calm the body’s stress response, promoting deeper healing and balance.
