I became a counselor because I’ve always believed in the power of being heard and seen especially during life’s hardest moments. I wanted to create that space for others where people can show up as they are, work through the messy parts of life, and feel empowered in their growth. Supporting others through life transitions, healing, and self-discovery is meaningful, purpose-driven work, and it’s a privilege I don’t take lightly.

I’m most excited to work with clients who are in the middle of figuring things out those navigating big life changes. especially enjoy supporting women of color who may be carrying a lot emotionally but haven’t had a space to process it. I love helping clients reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and feel less alone in whatever season they’re in.

I wish all clients knew that they don’t have to wait until they’re completely overwhelmed to ask for help and that struggling doesn’t make them weak. Healing isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about giving yourself permission to be human.

I chose Thriveworks because of its commitment to making high-quality, accessible mental health care available to diverse communities. As a clinician, I value working in a space that prioritizes both client care and clinician support.

I’m inspired by people’s resilience especially when they choose to care for themselves in the midst of stress, transition, or self-doubt. As a mom, my son inspires me daily to keep growing, healing, and showing up with intention.

In the first counseling session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we have the chance to build a trusting relationship with me. The initial session typically focuses on introducing the counseling process and discussing the client's reasons for seeking help. Clients can share their concerns, challenges, and goals, and the counselor will actively listen, offering empathy and understanding.

Things I love to do on my time off are reading, I love getting lost in a good book. I am currently reading “A Thousand Splendid Suns”. I also love spending time with family and friends and going for hikes!

One defining aspect of who I am outside of my professional life is my insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Learning is an ongoing thing and I love learning especially about psychology and anything science!
