Hello! I'm so glad you're here. Finding support is often a difficult first step in any healing journey. Congratulations on making it this far! As a woman of color, I have used my lived experience and therapeutic expertise to support my clients with navigating challenging relationships with romantic partners, family, and/or friends. We often work together to build healthy self-care practices as well as healthy boundaries across life domains (relationships, family, career). I've also worked with many clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity (including members of the LGBTQ+ community).
I use a creative and relational approach to find the appropriate fusion of therapeutic interventions to support your needs and work through identified challenges. I have significant interest and expertise in relationship work (specifically healthy/unhealthy relationship practices that can be applied to romantic, platonic, or familial relationships).
Whether you're new to therapy or continuing a lifelong journey, it's essential to find a therapist who is a good fit. If you think we'd work well together, you can click on the link to my website to quickly and immediately schedule a 15 minute consultation. Whether I am a good fit for you or not, I wish you well on your journey!
