My path to becoming a therapist stems from my own mental health journey and a desire to work in a helping profession. Recognizing that many providers may not share my background, I’ve developed an intellectual curiosity about the intersections of identity and access to care. Representation matters, and I strive to make mental health care more inclusive, especially for those marginalized by socio-economic factors. I'm passionate about helping those often ignored or underserved, knowing my skills can turn breakdowns into breakthroughs. I also give back to my community, notably through volunteering with W.O.K.E. (Women of Kolour Empowered).
