Hello, Welcome, and Congratulations on taking the step to become your best self! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C and LICSW) with 10 years of experience working with teens, adults, and older adults in need of support in order to go from surviving to thriving! Using mindfulness-based and/or motivational interviewing techniques, I look forward to connecting and supporting you on your therapeutic journey!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect a welcoming and supportive virtual therapeutic space where you will be received with kindness, attention, and open-mindedness. In our first session together, we will start with introductions, then dive into specific challenges you are facing. By hearing from you, I will be able to create a plan that will guide our work together in our futures sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a woman of color and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I bring a safe, validating, and an open mind to each session. Together, we will identify specific coping skills and tools to utilize on your path of self-discovery in order for you to thrive and live your best life! I look forward to working together!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with adults experiencing life stressors, acute and/or chronic medical conditions, identity related challenges, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, and/or experiencing grief and loss.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Breathe in, Breathe out. Mindfulness-Based Therapy technique allows the Client to just BE in the present moment, allow for thoughts, emotions, feelings, and judgements to arise, become aware of, and explore in a safe and open environment. Within Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we can utilize breathing exercises, visualization techniques, gentle body movement, and meditations to focus attention and address life concerns and challenges.
Motivational Interviewing
What do you think of when you read the word: CHANGE? Perhaps resistant to change? A readiness to change? Don't know what to change? I am here to help! Motivational Interviewing is a technique that is all about the ups and downs of change. I have experience assisting Clients pinpoint where they are on the change spectrum and support Clients in figuring out an effective path forward.
