I am passionate about representation in mental health and pride myself on being a multiculturally competent therapist with a wide array of experiences working with diverse populations, which includes being an LGBTQA+ affirming counselor and working through challenges experienced within the Black and Hispanic communities.
I work primarily with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, & interpersonal relationship struggles. I also work closely with individuals experiencing difficulty adjusting to life transitions, self-esteem struggles, boundary setting, and personal growth.
I believe it takes a great amount of strength and vulnerability for people of any age to reach out to a therapist, and don't take that lightly. For this reason, I believe that a warm, open-minded, client-centered, and non-judgmental environment is essential in beginning to heal and growing to be the best version of yourself.
