For me, I aim to help others transform their lives through compassionate, personalized care (with plenty of humor along the way). I specialize in working with people of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent. If you’re neurodivergent and reading this, you’ve finally found someone who specializes in and deeply understands your unique perspective. Whether seeking clarity on behaviors, understanding how you interpret the world, or navigating challenges like job functioning and ADHD, I’m here to help.
I bring my life experiences, empathy, and dedication to understanding what you need in therapy. Whether you develop interpersonal skills, improve relationships, or gain tools for everyday life, I’m committed to supporting your goals. My strength lies in my ability to do all these while ensuring you smile and laugh along the way.
I’m deeply honored to work with each of my clients. This isn’t just a job—it’s my passion. My approach is different from any therapist you’ve ever had, and together, we’ll form one of the best teams. I’ll be with you through life’s ups and downs, helping you navigate challenges and celebrate your growth.
