Finding someone to share your experiences with whom you can trust is an essential step in your journey. I believe challenging times and experiences offer you the most significant potential to create the life you have wanted and dreamt of. While reaching out for help is often the first and most challenging step to initiating change in our lives and moving toward wholeness, I am so glad you are here!

My approach

Whether you are looking to improve specific situations or make significant changes in your life, I can help, support and guide you. I utilize a range of modalities including Brainspotting, Dialectical (DBT), EMDR, Family Therapy, Gottman Method, Group Therapy, Solution Focused, and Strength-Based approaches, tailoring my approach to your unique needs.

My focus

I have experience working with clients facing a wide range of struggles, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, relationship issues, grief and loss, career challenges, marital problems, trauma, sexuality, PTSD, and personality disorders. I see individuals, couples, families, and minors aged 13-17.

My communication style

My communication style is culturally sensitive and multicultural. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel supported in sharing openly and honestly. Building a relationship of trust and collaboration is essential.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my journey in mental healthcare by earning my Master of Social Work degree with a focus on Management and Community Organization/Clinical, Families and Children from the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Social Work. I was motivated to enter this field to make a positive difference in people's lives and support them through life's challenges.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the insights, coping skills, and tools to navigate difficult times, gain new perspectives, improve your relationships and sense of self, and make meaningful, lasting changes to enhance your overall wellbeing and life satisfaction. I'm here to walk beside you on your journey of growth and transformation.

My first session with you

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and begin getting to know one another. I'll ask about your history, current circumstances, goals, and challenges. We'll also discuss the therapy process and address any questions you may have. Most importantly, we'll start building the therapeutic relationship that will serve as the foundation for our work together.
