About Me

I support individuals who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, and relationship-related challenges. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and inclusive space where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences while building greater self-awareness and confidence.

My work is grounded in holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. I strive to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through healing, growth, and personal change.


Who I Support

I work with individuals experiencing:

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
  • Trauma and difficult life experiences
  • Low self-esteem and identity-related concerns
  • Relationship and interpersonal challenges
  • Life transitions and personal growth

I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals within BIPOC communities and creating therapy that honors each person’s lived experience and resilience.


My Approach

My approach is client-centered and integrative, combining evidence-based practices with empathy and cultural humility. I draw from:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful patterns
  • Narrative Therapy to help clients explore and reframe their personal stories
  • Mindfulness-based practices to support emotional awareness and balance

My style is collaborative, reflective, and strengths-based. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change.


Education & Professional Status

Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling – Saint Bonaventure University

Master of Science in Law and Public Policy – California University of Pennsylvania

Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice – California University of Pennsylvania



I practice under clinical supervision in accordance with New York State regulations. Ongoing supervision supports ethical, high-quality care and helps ensure you receive thoughtful, client-centered treatment while your privacy remains protected.


Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I value spending time with loved ones and engaging in activities that support creativity, balance, and personal growth. I believe in the importance of intentional self-care and bringing that same grounded perspective into my work with clients.
