Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions, she combines culturally responsive care with practical strategies to support meaningful and lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I recognize that our mental health is influenced not only by personal experiences but also by the larger social, cultural, and systemic environments in which we live. Therapy can be a place to honor the complexity of your identities, strengthen your connection to yourself and others, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional distress, support through a transition, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I strive to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. My approach integrates healing-centered, culturally responsive care with evidence-based therapeutic practices. By combining practical tools with deeper exploration and insight, I aim to help you feel understood and validated while strengthening coping skills and creating meaningful, sustainable change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My background in anthropology, sociology, and community mental health means I see you in context — not separate from the systems, communities, and intersecting identities that shape your daily experience. I understand the burden of navigating healthcare, housing, educational, legal, and social service systems. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, caring for a loved one, seeking resources, or trying to coordinate services across multiple agencies, knowing where to start isn’t always clear. You don't have to navigate these complex systems alone. I strive to help you access resources, overcome barriers, communicate effectively with professionals and organizations, and make informed decisions that align with your goals and values. Using a collaborative, strengths-based approach, I support you in building confidence while navigating challenging circumstances.
