Get to know me

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

It is my belief that creating a safe and nonjudgemental space for self-exploration is the cornerstone of a successful therapeutic relationship.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My therapeutic philosophy is best described as "nurturing and cultivating the client's inner strengths." My hardworking but peaceful demeanor has enabled me to bring a sense of calm amidst chaos and guide those in crisis. Essential to my practice is a focus on problem-solving and educating to bridge the gap between a person's core values and how to achieve the goals they set forth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My experiences highlighted the disservice the most vulnerable populations face as well as the frustrations that is felt from a system standpoint. My combinations of lived experiences highlighted the disservice and exposure to different cultures allow me to look through a different lens and empathize with and validate the frustrations of those impacted and disenfranchised by our various systems.

She has been so awesome at breaking down issues. She makes the remote space feel very comfortable and it’s like I’m speaking to someone in person.
