About me
I am a licensed therapist in California with over twelve years of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and expertise.
As a therapist of color, I bring a nuanced, culturally responsive approach to mental health care. I specialize in addressing a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, communication difficulties, social anxiety, workplace stress, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and affirming. I work closely with clients to explore their unique experiences, develop meaningful insights, and cultivate strategies for personal growth. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, relationship challenges, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for your healing journey.
I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients build resilience, enhance self-love, and move toward more fulfilling lives. My approach honors each individual's distinct path and strengths.
