About

I believe that embarking on therapy can be a big step in one’s life that can bring change to one's reality. I believe many people do not have the space to truly express themselves. You deserve to be seen and heard. I strive to create a safe space to express oneself openly. I make it my mission to meet clients with compassion and respect. I believe that the power of change is within all of us, and this step is a testament to that journey. Ubuntu is an African proverb meaning, "I am because we are." It speaks to the power of building a strong community—therapy can be one of those pillars. I utilize several evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and others, depending on one’s treatment goals. I have experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety, multicultural and identity issues, and racial and gender issues.
