ABOUT

My path into mental health began with witnessing how compassionate care can transform someone’s life. As a mother, veteran, and woman of color, I understand firsthand how identity, family roles, and cultural narratives shape emotional health and resilience. These lived experiences inform my belief that healing requires both safety and genuine connection — a place where you can show up fully and be met with understanding.

I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, identity confusion, family conflict, and the emotional fatigue that comes from juggling multiple roles. Many clients come to therapy feeling alone in their experiences, uncertain of their next step, or unsure how to articulate what they need. In our work, I help you slow down, explore your emotional landscape, and reconnect with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Therapy with me is steady and welcoming. I hold space for your story while helping you process complex emotions, untangle patterns, and develop coping strategies that strengthen your emotional well-being.

APPROACH

My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and rooted in collaboration. I draw from CBT for restructuring thoughts, DBT for supporting emotional regulation, Motivational Interviewing for empowerment, and Seeking Safety for trauma recovery.

Sessions with me are paced around your comfort and readiness. I focus on helping you build insight, strengthen coping tools, and create a grounded sense of self that supports healing long after therapy ends.
