My practice stands out because I offer a space that is explicitly affirming, culturally responsive, and grounded in real-world understanding—not just theory. Clients choose to work with me because I balance warmth and humor with loving-but-firm accountability, helping people feel supported while also moving forward. I approach each client with curiosity and care for how identity, culture, and lived experience shape their day-to-day world, especially for BIPOC clients who are not fully seen in other spaces. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with care, honesty, and respect while helping you build meaningful change, my practice may feel like the right place to land.

Treatment Approach
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.

My therapy practice is rooted in the belief that people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood. I offer affirming, culturally responsive care that acknowledges how identity, culture, and systemic stress shape daily life, especially for BIPOC clients who are not fully seen in other spaces. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, with room for humor, honesty, and real conversation—because therapy should feel human, not clinical or performative. I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship stress, meeting each client where they are while honoring their lived experience and strengths.
Clients often choose to work with me because I balance warmth and care with loving-but-firm accountability. I’m supportive, but I won’t let you stay stuck—I believe growth happens when compassion and follow-through work together. Therapy with me is a space where insight, laughter, and challenge can coexist, and where progress happens at a pace that respects both your boundaries and your capacity. If you’re looking for a therapist who will show up with curiosity, clarity, and care while helping you build meaningful, sustainable change, you’ll find that kind of partnership here.
