As a Black, queer, neurodivergent clinician, I know I have a unique perspective when it comes to mental health and wellbeing. If you are looking for someone different, someone who will really listen to your concerns, and help you achieve your goals, don't look further. I am an integrative psychiatric provider, and I believe that mental health is a lot more than medications, but medications can also help! I am inclusive and enjoy working with a diverse group of individuals that struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, autism, and ADHD. I also enjoy working with "higher functioning" folx and professionals. *I see clients ages 16 -65 years old.*

Mental Health Counselor experienced at helping clients steer through feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, low self-esteem, social skills, and other life-limiting issues. My knowledge and training may help you acquire the strength and skills necessary to overcome emotional and behavioral issues, and help set you on the path to a happier, healthier life. Together we will create a therapeutic alliance in our safe, judgement- free environment, and work towards problem-solving and goal-setting, for personal growth and development. I also speak Russian.

I work from a client-centered perspective that utilizes vulnerability, genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to help those I work with safely explore the stressors and other life circumstances that may be negatively impacting their sense of peace and well-being in order to find effective strategies that will help achieve a balanced, happy, and healthy life. I have been providing clinical services since 2009 and speak both English and Spanish with native fluency.

Hi, I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. I specialize in working with older teens and young adults on challenges like anxiety, relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and life transitions. My approach is warm, insight-oriented, and relational—I believe that real change happens when we better understand ourselves and how we relate to others. Therapy with me is a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, reflect deeply, and grow at your own pace.
