Life is filled with peaks, valleys, and hills. Navigating those challenges alone can feel overwhelming, having a trusted support system makes all the difference. My calling as a counselor stems from a deeply personal place: growing up in a community where mental health was a taboo subject, I saw firsthand the devastating impacts of generational trauma on my family, friends, and neighbors. Noticing a severe lack of adequate help around me sparked a lifelong passion to become the helping hand my community needed. My experiences also include working in the education field for seven years in college access organizations in middle school and high school. Sports and fitness has also been a pivotal for my professional development.
am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and reconnect with your true, authentic self. I believe that holistic healing is something everyone deserves to experience in its entirety. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of life struggles. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to you.
Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, and Existential Therapy, I partner with clients to navigate anxiety, abandonment, anger management, and emotional processing. Together, we can break old cycles and build a path toward lasting healing.I invite you to come and be vulnerable in the process of therapy, while also releasing all of the components that have tied you down.
