My professional background spans college counseling centers, private practices, correctional settings, inpatient facilities, and community programs. I specialize in supporting individuals with significant mental health concerns and assisting clients as they navigate identity, culture, and systemic barriers. My practice is rooted in a collaborative, culturally responsive approach tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
