About me
As a licensed therapist in the District of Columbia, I bring three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate diverse emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each person's unique identity and experiences. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques with a holistic understanding of individual strengths, focusing on empowering clients to develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful life strategies.
My professional background spans a wide range of focus areas, including workplace challenges, multicultural concerns, life transitions, social anxiety, and interpersonal dynamics. I approach each client's journey with cultural sensitivity, respect, and a genuine commitment to supporting their personal transformation and healing.
