The provider is a “Licensed Social Worker" and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is The Deep-Seeded Truth Psychotherapy. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults seeking a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space to better understand themselves, navigate life transitions, process anxiety and other emotional challenges, and explore identity, relationships, and personal growth.

My approach is collaborative, grounded, and rooted in helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

She approaches therapy with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person’s lived experience, recognizing that mental health is shaped by our identities, relationships, environments, and the systems we navigate. Clients can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where they are encouraged to explore emotions, patterns, and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable and aligned for them. My approach integrates insight, self-reflection, and emotional processing while helping clients build resilience, self-awareness, and practical tools for growth and healing.
