Areas of Specialization

Anxiety can feel overwhelming — constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, and a sense that something bad is always about to happen. It can hold you back from the life you want to live.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques, I help you understand your anxiety triggers, challenge anxious thought patterns, and develop practical coping strategies that bring lasting relief.

I can help with:

• • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• • Social anxiety
• • Panic attacks
• • Overthinking and rumination
• • Performance anxiety
• • Health anxiety

Depression can drain your energy, steal your motivation, and make even small tasks feel impossible. You might feel disconnected, hopeless, or wonder if things will ever get better. They can — and they will.

Using a combination of CBT and psychodynamic approaches, I help you understand the root causes of your depression, rebuild motivation, and reconnect with the things that bring you joy and purpose.

Common signs include:

• • Persistent sadness or emptiness
• • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
• • Fatigue and low energy
• • Difficulty concentrating
• • Changes in sleep or appetite
• • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt

Healthy relationships are essential to our well-being, yet they can also be our greatest source of stress. Whether you're struggling with communication, trust, boundaries, or recurring conflicts, therapy can help you build stronger, healthier connections.

I work with individuals navigating relationship challenges — from romantic partnerships to family dynamics and friendships — helping you understand patterns, communicate effectively, and create the relationships you deserve.

Low self-esteem can quietly affect every area of your life — your relationships, your career, and your ability to pursue what you truly want. You might struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or a persistent inner critic that tells you you're not good enough.

Together, we'll challenge those limiting beliefs, develop self-compassion, and build a healthier relationship with yourself so you can show up authentically and confidently in your life.

Traumatic experiences can leave lasting imprints on how you think, feel, and relate to the world. You might struggle with flashbacks, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or a persistent sense of being unsafe — even when you know logically that the danger has passed.

As an EMDR-trained therapist, I offer specialized trauma treatment that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) engages your brain's natural healing processes to help you process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge — so you can finally move forward.

I can help with:

• • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• • Complex trauma and childhood adversity
• • Single-incident trauma (accidents, assault, loss)
• • Emotional and psychological abuse
• • Grief and traumatic loss
• • Trauma-related anxiety and depression

Living with a chronic illness can affect every dimension of your life — your energy, your relationships, your sense of identity, and your mental health. The emotional toll of managing a long-term health condition is real, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

I help clients develop coping strategies, process grief around health changes, manage the anxiety and depression that often accompany chronic conditions, and find ways to live a meaningful, fulfilling life within their circumstances.

Women often face unique pressures — balancing career and family, navigating societal expectations, dealing with reproductive health challenges, or recovering from gender-based trauma. I provide a space where these experiences are understood and validated.

As a woman of color, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to support women from all backgrounds in finding their strength and voice.
