I honor the courage it takes to seek therapy and hope to support you as you work toward healing and growth. Whether you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating identity and relationships, I provide a compassionate, culturally aware space where you can feel truly seen and heard. As a Millennial Afro-Latina therapist and mom, I bring empathy and a steady presence, partnering with you honestly and openly to uncover patterns, face challenges, and create a path forward. With deep respect, I offer compassionate support for those facing post-traumatic stress, relationship challenges, and adult life transitions.
