I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting women of color, caregivers, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating stress, identity, relationships, and life transitions. I create a safe, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen and heard. Together, we build practical tools for healing, boundaries, and self-confidence so you can move forward with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

You can expect me to show up authentically, laughing, using metaphors, giving visual examples to make a point, and being your accountability partner. Think of me as the passenger in your car. You are driving but I am beside you guiding you when needed.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I'm honest and relatable. I don't just listen or tell you what you want to hear. I provide practical strategies to apply to your every day life. I am open to feedback because this process doesn't work unless you feel it is beneficial to you. I also pride myself in responding in a timely manner (within 24-48 hours) because I have heard that too many clients go unanswered when searching for a therapist.
