Professional Interests:
It has always been my passion to help culturally diverse and disadvantaged populations develop
the tools needed to flourish. Through a culturally competent lens, I work with adolescents, women, and families who struggle with life transitions, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessments for school-age children, adolescents, and young adults.
I also find joy in helping religious leaders who struggle with burnout, stress, depression, and anxiety regain balance by making wellness their top priority. My goal is for my clients to feel safe, seen, heard, understood, and empowered in session while feeling confident they are learning the necessary tools needed to handle life circumstances. I use an integrative and humanistic approach, meaning I draw tools from various evidence-based practices to best understand and support those I work with.
