Introduction

I knew early on that I wanted to go into the helping profession and I had a desire to pursue psychology. As a woman of a color and a first-generation American with my own personal life challenges both in childhood and adulthood, my empathetic essence is honest and genuine when working with my clients. I believe that this is what has facilitated rapport and trust and supported me in making a positive impact. My experience includes parenting challenges, substance use/addictions, depression, and anxiety. I have experience implementing evidence-based practices, multisystemic therapy in the home, counseling in culturally-sensitive situations, and treating unaccompanied minors presenting with trauma, abuse, and familial challenges. I use trauma informed CBT as the foundation of my practice. I value respect, compassion, safety, integrity and honesty. My approach to counseling is contingent on the needs of the individual. Making the first step to seek out support is the most challenging step to take. The courage it takes to take that step will ignite more change; the change you wish to see. I accept insurance through Headway and Alma.
