Life can get challenging sometimes. Sometimes coping can become difficult and that's when it's time to get some support and learn new coping skills to maneuver through the challenging times.

Having experienced my own share of life transitions and dedicated to helping others navigate similar journeys, I deeply empathize with what you're going through. I specialize in working with individuals amidst significant life changes who seek stability, structure, and security. My clients often face transitions such as career shifts, relationship changes, or personal growth journeys. Their challenges may manifest as anxiety, depression, uncertainty, and a sense of being overwhelmed by the unknown, coupled with a need to regain control.

Life does not always go how we think it should. It's often helpful to have the viewpoint of someone who is outside of our situation. I've got experience working with people who have been through traumatic events, both physical and emotional.

I believe that as we evolve and grow, our connections with ourselves, others and the world around us can become deeper and more fulfilling. However, when we are under stress, in a relationship crisis, or feel anxious or depressed, our connections to our loved ones and to ourselves are limited. We may be unable to communicate, feel angry, lack energy and feel overwhelmed. In order to relieve life's pressures, it is important to slow down, and become more self-aware--reconnecting with ourselves once again. Counseling fosters trust, and is a process that promotes growth and change.

We all struggle with obstacles that seem insurmountable but I believe everyone has the power within themselves to reach for the stars. Sometimes it takes baby steps and often we need someone we can trust to lend a helping hand.

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.

As a biracial human, I understand the juggling process between developing identity while also finding a sense of belonging within communities. Doing this on top of just simply learning how to be an adult and manage emotions can be a difficult juggling process! I prioritize the awareness of various factors like multiculturalism, oppression, trauma, and neurodiversity when working on deepening your understanding of yourself and reintegrating the connection between your mind, body, and spirit. Due to these factors, I bring my genuine personality to help build trust in the therapeutic relationship.
