My holistic and multicultural approach seamlessly blends social wellness and intersectionality, offering individuals a space to explore the depths of their identity while also finding solace and strength in shared experiences. Creating an inclusive environment is characteristic of me as it enables people to delve into their personal stories and embrace their complex cores. I believe true well-being flourishes when we embrace every facet of identity – cultural roots, gender, sexuality, faith, and more. Integrating these aspects nurtures a holistic and genuine self. Social wellness, on this journey, reminds us of our interconnectedness and the ability to empower one another through meaningful interactions, shared moments, and unwavering support. Ultimately, my goal is to foster a comfortable space where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered.

My ideal client is ready to take actionable steps toward achieving their true self and their goals. They may grapple with multifaceted challenges, including self identity, self confidence, self care, personal values, cultural identity, and social media influence. They seek a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these issues and find their place in life. Goals include self-actualization, improved self-esteem, authenticity, meaningful connections, and upholding personal values. They desire an authentic therapeutic relationship where they can be genuine, and their therapist will do the same for them.
Using a humanistic and person-centered approach, I help clients navigate self-actualization and authenticity by focusing on the development of identity, confidence, and self-care skills. My approach works best for those seeking overall wellness for the soul, self-exploration, personal growth, and goal achievement.
Your unique journey matters, and I’m here to support you and provide you with practical and some nonconventional skills. Please feel free to reach out anytime, and together, we can embark on this path of growth and wellness.
