I am a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years experience in the field. My practice modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy and motivational interviewing, while focusing on your goals and aspirations. I work with adults, adolescents and children in early childhood, primarily people of color in low income communities. My holistic and empathic approach is encouraging to clients who are seeking therapy especially for the first time. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with eating disorders, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety and stress, as they continue to navigate everyday challenges. I strongly believe in and cheer for the success of the clients I work with. I’m passionate about what I do and Invested in helping you develop the skills you need to make long lasting positive changes in your life. One of the areas I work with many of my clients is around increasing their self care practices, so they are better equipped to deal with stress and anxiety. I truly believe everyone has value and deserves to experience joy and peace, simply because they exist. If you are ready to take that next step I’m happy to go on the journey with you. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
