About
Finding clarity is not about knowing all the answers, but learning to trust the quiet voice guiding you home.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with 3 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to living with purpose, peace, and clarity. My counseling philosophy is holistic and goal-oriented, meaning we focus not only on problems but also on building the skills and strength needed for the future. I believe in active, skill-focused therapy where I partner with you to create meaningful change and help you move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Walden University. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates practical techniques to help you manage anxiety, establish healthy boundaries, and improve communication. I also provide faith-integrated counseling for those who wish to incorporate spirituality into their healing journey.
I invite you to take the first step toward healing and transformation. Together, we can explore your goals, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and begin the work of building resilience, clarity, and purpose. I look forward to meeting you and walking beside you on your journey to wholeness and peace.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients recognize their strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, process difficult experiences, and build a greater sense of self-understanding and empowerment.
You may be here because life feels overwhelming or you're ready for something to change. I believe you deserve a space where you feel heard and accepted without judgment. I am a clinical independent social worker and a self-identified Afro-Latina clinician. My own understanding of culture and identity shapes how I connect with clients and families, and I recognize how cultural backgrounds, family experiences, and community can influence how we see ourselves. I'm especially mindful of those who feel caught between cultures, are navigating bicultural identities, or are balancing their own needs with family and cultural expectations.
Throughout my career, I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing complex medical and mental health challenges, including trauma, grief, loss, and major life transitions. I'm certified in TF-CBT and also use CBT and other evidence-based approaches. My style is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed.
I believe therapy should be a place where you can be your authentic self, without having to explain or minimize your cultural experiences or family dynamics. I will meet you where you are, and my hope is to build a relationship based on trust, compassion, and connection, so you can move forward with confidence, knowing you don't have to navigate life alone.
I am so glad you've taken this brave step towards seeking support, and I am here to listen and work with you to navigate whatever ...
