Are you going through a significant life transition? Whether it's a breakup, graduating from college, starting a new job, or adjusting to a new city, I can help. As a member of a BIPOC community, I understand the unique challenges and cultural expectations that you may be facing. I strongly believe that everyone has a story shaped by their experiences, and I am here to support you in creating the life and happiness you desire. We will work together to set goals and develop coping skills that will empower you to feel better and thrive. Let's increase your self-awareness and build the tools you need to navigate like with confidence.
I approach my work from a psychodynamic lens, which means I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy. I believe in trauma-informed care and strive to provide culturally-competent counseling. I am particularly interested in the intersections between mental health, diversity, and inclusion.
Join me on a therapeutic journey where you're in the driver's seat and I'm your trusted co-pilot. Together, we'll explore alternative paths to help you navigate your route. Take charge and let's begin this transformative experience together. Contact me now to get started.
