I’m passionate about helping people restore healing, hope, and mental well-being. I’m energetic, down-to-earth, and committed to guiding, supporting, and encouraging you through whatever life has thrown your way. Together, we’ll create a safe space to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 10 years of experience in working with adolescents and adults with major focus on anxiety and depression.
