Biography

I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional committed to supporting individuals, families, and communities on their journey toward healing and personal growth. With advanced training in clinical mental health counseling and human services, I specialize in working with clients experiencing mental health challenges, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, anger management, PTSD, self-esteem concerns, substance use concerns, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and client-centered care. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create individualized treatment plans that align with their goals and values. Whether navigating stress, crisis, recovery, or emotional challenges, my goal is to help clients build resilience, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence and purpose. I am passionate about advocacy, education, and community engagement, and I strive to foster hope and meaningful change by meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them toward lasting well-being.
