People are often exposed to stressors and or traumatic events that at times can unravel emotions that seem to consume us. During these times it seems hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My passion is to help people find this light, to help heal from their past trauma and move forward. I assist my clients; school aged children and young adults in finding and changing their negative distortions and identifying their strengths in order to help achieve a peaceful, happy and whole perception of themselves.

Therapy should be a space to explore, understand and transcend. As a therapist of color, I value creating a safe space where clients can be their full authentic self. For the last 8 years, I have done community mental health work in the greater Boston area with late teens, adults, elderly, and the LBGTQ+ community. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression to unpack trauma, build self-esteem and a sense of self-worth, and identify/accomplish life goals.

I believe in the power of talking and the therapeutic relationship to help my clients better understand their inner worlds and cope with the complicated realities of life. Together, we strive to draw meaningful connections that can ultimately lead to personal fulfillment and successful relationships. My work is informed by psychodynamic concepts — exploring how the unconscious and early experiences may impact one's emotions and relationship dynamics. I emphasize collaboration and open dialogue about our process together, and use a social justice lens to acknowledge the ways in which the socio-political context impacts experience.

I also have an interest in and offer years of expertise supporting individuals around issues related to parenting, identity development, LBGTQIA+ identities, relationships, and life transitions.

Suddenly feeling unlike yourself or realizing you don’t know who you are can be painful and confusing. Hiding parts of yourself only adds to the struggle. If you’re grappling with fear, feeling stuck, or barely holding it together, learning to manage the challenges and and mend what’s been hurting you can become an opportunity for growth and lead you on a new and unexpected path.

My ideal client has either experienced a past trauma and/or is dealing with anxiety or depression. This client can be someone diagnosed with ASD, as I enjoy working with neurodiverse populations. This client should want guidance and support to develop emotional regulation skills, build positive relationships with others, or process their emotional experiences. I can help support those going through various life transitions, as well as help people develop self-awareness and understanding.
