Pre-Licensed Professional

My mission is deeply rooted in facilitating healing by navigating clients through both past and present trauma. I am not just a counselor; I am a dedicated advocate for personal growth. My commitment lies in challenging your perspectives and fostering self-insight, empowering you to become the best version of yourself. I firmly believe in a client-centered approach, meeting you where you're at in your unique journey and guiding you through the healing process as a supportive and empathetic guide.
As a multicultural individual, I bring a rich understanding of diverse cultures to my practice. This enables me to address specific traumas and disorders related to race and ethnicity, creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals seeking support. My specialization extends to individual, couples, and group therapy.
Therapeutic modalities I practice include Behavioral, Psychoanalytic, Cognitive, and Humanistic. I have successfully worked with clients struggling with depression, work-related stress, family stressors, anxiety, and trauma. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.
