ABOUT

I specialize in helping clients heal from trauma and its impact on the mind, body, and relationships. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I draw from EMDR, DBT, and CBT to gently support you in processing past experiences, building self-compassion, and creating meaningful change at your own pace.

As a bilingual Latinx therapist, I bring a culturally grounded and compassionate perspective to my work. I'm passionate about holding space for first-generation young adults and others who move between worlds—balancing multiple identities, family values, and personal growth. I understand the emotional weight that can come with breaking generational patterns and the courage it takes to redefine what healing looks like for yourself.

In our work together, my hope is that you feel seen, supported, and deeply understood. I strive to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself—where your story, culture, and experiences are honored. I believe that healing happens in relationship, and that therapy can be a powerful place to rediscover your strength and sense of connection.

Finding the right therapist is an important step, and I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

Sadie, Our Colleague!

Sadie is my three-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog and a beloved part of my practice. She often joins me in sessions, offering comfort, connection, and a sense of calm just by being her gentle, loving self.

She has earned her Canine Good Citizen certification through the American Kennel Club, a nationally recognized program that celebrates dogs with excellent manners and steady temperaments.

Sadie brings warmth and joy to everyone she meets. She's playful yet incredibly gentle, and she loves spending time with people. Her presence has a way of helping clients feel more grounded and at ease. While she isn't hypoallergenic, her kind spirit and joyful energy tend to leave a lasting impression on everyone she meets.

About the Canine Good Citizen Certification

The Canine Good Citizen is a nationally recognized certification through the American Kennel Club (AKC). This test evaluates dogs on their manners, obedience, and temperament in a variety of real-world situations. Dogs who pass the CGC must demonstrate that they are well-behaved, under control, non-aggressive, and able to interact safely and calmly with people and other dogs. This certification ensures that Sadie is a safe and appropriate animal to participate in therapeutic settings.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Virtual Only - Michigan | Immediate Openings Available

ABOUT

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Michigan. My education consists of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Writing from Grand Valley State University and a Master of Arts in Counselor Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University. My professional experience to date encompasses work with children, adolescents, young adults, women, men, families, couples, and groups. My clinical practice has spanned diverse settings, such as private practice, community mental health agencies, and university counseling centers.

Individuals commonly seek therapeutic services to address a wide range of personal, emotional, professional, and relational challenges, among other issues impacting their well-being and development. My approach to therapy is rooted in an integrative framework with the client at the center and consists of assisting individuals in becoming more effective and self-reliant when resolving problems. I utilize a combination of different theoretical methods including Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

My attention to detail has been crucial when assessing clients' needs, understanding their unique situations, and tailoring interventions to help them succeed and excel in different facets of their lives. I pride myself on supporting the needs of those I work with with respect, empathy, and gentleness. Some of my clinical areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-compassion, identity development, relationship concerns, family matters, adjusting to change, and advocating for underserved/underrepresented populations.

As a Black woman, I take pride in providing culturally sensitive services and support amongst all populations I work with. Compassion, active listening and responsiveness have helped me in building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. My intention in therapy is to develop a secure and reassuring space to uplift clients while promoting advocacy and empowerment as they work towards their personal goals along their mental health and wellness journey. I do so by fostering resilience, coping skills, and self-awareness through open dialogue, effective treatment planning, and skill introduction and implementation in sessions. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aspire to support individuals in creating positive, lasting changes in their lives.

In an effort to maintain my own mental health and overall wellbeing I like to engage in self-care by spending time with my loved ones, listening to music and podcasts, attending concerts and live shows, exercising (I love Step Aerobics and trying random classes), journaling, going on solo dates, traveling, exploring new spaces and activities, creative projects, sleeping in on off days, and spending time in solitude (I'm an introvert and sometimes have to recharge my social battery). Just as I encourage clients to nurture their inner world, I remain committed to my own growth and balance—believing that a grounded therapist creates the safest space for transformation to unfold. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I am honored to walk alongside each client as they reclaim their voice, deepen their self-understanding, and move toward a life that feels more whole, empowered, and true to them.
