(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I work with many diverse clients in difficult situations, I have an extensive background around racial, ethnic, diverse socioeconomic, and cultural issues
It takes a lot of bravery to seek assistance and support for life’s difficult situations – you are not alone. Do you feel that you have a long-standing and complex mental health concern? What about this – are you having a difficult time connecting with your partner? Feeling stuck? These are some of the challenges that I have helped others (like you!) work through. You and I can problem solve and strategize on how to take your next step. Working with many diverse clients in difficult situations, I have an extensive background around racial, ethnic, diverse socioeconomic, and cultural issues. I am a counselor that is community-minded and believes in working with you to create brave choices while going in-depth on the paths you chose to explore in your therapy. I believe in working collaboratively together to develop practical steps to achieve solutions to immediate problems and proactive approaches to long-term issues. Using a collaborative and strength based approach; I have been counseling people since 2010. How we treat ourselves is critical to our day-to-day lives, to our families, to our communities, to our future – you deserve a good relationship with yourself.
