About

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in grief, managing trauma, or struggling with substance use, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. Maybe you’re looking for support that honors your culture, your faith, and your lived experience. You want to feel like yourself again—or maybe, for the first time. You’re seeking something real, healing, and grounded in respect. You want to feel whole again. With over 20 years in social work and substance use/ misuse, I offer culturally sensitive, trauma-informed therapy rooted in empathy and empowerment. My specialties include substance use, grief, trauma, and emotional regulation. Together, we’ll co-create a healing path grounded in trust, resilience, and practical strategies that support lasting change.
