As a mother, wife, and first-generation college graduate, I draw inspiration from my trials, using them as fuel to empower others to create a better tomorrow. Aside from my clinical work, I am also a mental health speaker and advocate. I am passionate about stopping the stigmas related to mental health-- particularly in relation to mental illness. I want to work to normalize experiences working through and overcoming symptoms of mental health disorders. I want to provide support for those looking to work on their own diagnoses, but also help to end cycles of trauma and mental illness that can oftentimes reoccur in families across generations without intervention and treatment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My clients can expect to feel confident and inspired after our sessions, with a revitalized sense of their own strengths and a more optimistic perspective on their challenges. I personalize my approach to honor each person's distinct journey, fostering an environment of growth and understanding.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My background, extensive personal experience and my own mental health journey are my greatest assets as a provider. I don't just talk the talk, I have actually walked the walk! Additionally, my expertise in multicultural counseling, family and parenting issues, and trauma recovery can help clients embrace their unique strengths and develop resilience for a brighter future.
