Therapy is not just about understanding the self that you are but also becoming the self that you want to be. As a therapist, I have enjoyed my time in guiding people through the process of finding themselves and learning more about themselves, or each other along the way. Using a non judgmental approach to individual, family, and couples therapy has proven to be effective in mitigating these challenges that life has brought to anyone that I see. I am a Licensed Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work. I utilize different modalities such as CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, Client Centered, Play Therapy, Solution Focused, etc.

I work within a cognitive behavioral and interpersonal framework with adults and couples.
Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships, engaging in self-sabotoging behavior, feeling paralyzed in your life? You can create change. You don't have to remain anxious, depressed, confused or paralyzed in relationships or in life. Together we can create a safe space for you to feel both understood and empowered. We will work as a partnership exploring the hurdles that prevent growth, and the patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful but difficult to let go of. Together we will lay the foundation for lasting change.

In terms of population, I specialize in working with Black and brown folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, teens, individuals moving through college, and couples.
My speciality is working with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment, interpersonal relationships, and exploring their identity.

I believe people need a space to process the harder parts of life to not feel so alone and to work toward living more happily. I hope I can provide you that space.
