My dream client is a high-functioning woman who appears to be managing it all—but inside, she’s carrying the weight of anxiety, pressure, and deep emotional overwhelm.

I am passionate about and experienced in serving people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, especially Latinx, AAPI, Black/African-American, and multi-ethnic individuals. *Please note that I may have additional appointment times available in addition to those listed here on the Grow site. If you would like to request a different appointment time outside of what is displayed here, please schedule an appointment at one of the times listed, and then send me a direct message through the Grow portal. Thank you!
