About Me

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of identity, trauma, relationships, and emotional well-being. My work is particularly focused on individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, first-generation Americans, and those navigating intergenerational trauma, family expectations, cultural identity, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I recognize that our experiences are shaped not only by what we have lived through personally, but also by the histories, expectations, and patterns we inherit.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and individualized, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodramatic therapy. I incorporate evidence-informed interventions while recognizing that healing is never a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we explore the experiences, beliefs, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing the insight, emotional resilience, and practical tools needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward a life that feels more intentional and authentic.

As a woman of color and first-generation American, I bring both clinical expertise and a personal understanding of the complexities that can accompany navigating multiple identities, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and life's unexpected challenges. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the courage it takes to seek support, challenge familiar patterns, and choose a different path. I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can show up as your whole self—without judgment, without the pressure to have everything figured out, and without feeling that you need to explain every part of who you are.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process grounded in trust, compassion, honesty, respect, and integrity. Whether you are working through past experiences, navigating present-day stressors, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, you deserve a space where your experiences are acknowledged, your voice matters, and growth is approached with curiosity and care.

I am a multi-state licensed mental health counselor offering therapy in Colorado, New York, Connecticut, and Florida, with a primary focus on serving individuals in Colorado. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, goals, cultural experiences, and personal journey.

As Carl Rogers beautifully expressed, “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” I believe therapy can be part of that process—a space to reflect, heal, grow, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you hope to become.

What should someone know about working with you?

I am currently offering telehealth sessions only; this will not hinder the counseling process and sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant video platform with face-to-face interaction. The intake process is initiated electronically prior to the first session and goals are set collaboratively. In subsequent sessions, I will challenge you and provide honest feedback and observations. Therapy requires openness and a willingness to talk about difficult topics at your own pace. Homework assignments are common and include psychoeducation with worksheets, journaling reflections, and videos. I work well with millennials and those in Generation Y. The feedback I have received is positive and my clients have expressed feeling affirmed and understood.

What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?

As a counselor, I frequently complete clinical training and certifications. This is not only to learn and complete necessary CEUs but to also gain necessary knowledge and skills to utilize in sessions with my clients. Further, I invest in my own personal clinical supervision and consultation to keep myself accountable and professional in my work. As a private practice counselor, I encourage my clients to collaborate with other providers, such as prescribing physicians. I work with physicians as needed to collaborate, communicate, and intervene.
