Professional Credentials & Experience
- I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-S) with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston, University Park.
- With years of experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, I offer a compassionate, affirming space where you never have to shrink or over-explain to feel understood.
Why We’ll Work Well Together
- Starting therapy is an act of courage, and I’m genuinely proud of you for taking that first step. As a woman of color, I deeply understand the importance of having a therapist who sees and holds space for your full identity and truth.
- Whether you’re feeling stuck in relationships, emotions, or within yourself, we’ll gently explore what’s holding you back, strengthen your boundaries, and help you move from surviving to truly living.
- Your healing journey won’t be one-size-fits-all because you’re not. Together, we’ll create a path that honors your story, your pace, and your goals.
- My style is relational, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. You already hold so much wisdom; I’m here to help you reconnect with it.
If this resonates, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
