About me

Hello there! Welcome! As a therapist, my focus is on crafting attainable goals tailored specifically to you, considering any social hurdles you may encounter. In these times marked by racial tensions, socioeconomic disparities, and a global pandemic disrupting lives worldwide, it's unsurprising that our mental well-being requires urgent attention and nurturing. My aim is to provide you with a supportive environment where you can foster your creativity, regain motivation, and equip yourself with the necessary tools to prioritize self-care, self-respect, and self-esteem every day. Each stride forward is a noteworthy achievement deserving of recognition.
I am committed to embracing all identities, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, or religion. I recognize that therapy is a voyage of self-love, self-exploration, and self-actualization. My therapeutic approach is centered around you, incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I approach conversations with care, aiming for meaningful engagement that helps you identify symptoms, navigate mental health challenges, and possibly uncover any underlying medical conditions.
If you're prepared to embark on this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
