As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and discover deeper personal meaning. With expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, I create a compassionate space where healing and personal growth can flourish.
My therapeutic practice is rooted in understanding the unique experiences of each individual, with a particular commitment to serving Black communities and older adults seeking culturally responsive mental health support. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients work through feelings of guilt, shame, and uncertainty, guiding them toward self-acceptance and renewed purpose.
I believe in the transformative power of therapy as a collaborative journey. My goal is to empower you to develop resilient coping strategies, strengthen your self-esteem, and cultivate meaningful personal connections. Together, we'll explore your strengths and create pathways toward emotional wellness and personal fulfillment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
