Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor

I am a clinician at our [Silver Spring, MD](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/silver-spring-md.md) clinic who provides [therapy](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) services!

My ideal clients are, but are not limited to, BIPOC individuals who are ready to do the deep, intentional work of healing. Many come carrying the weight of generational trauma, cultural expectations, and the pressure to always be strong. They’re seeking a space where they can show up fully, without having to explain or minimize their experience. Together, we work to unlearn harmful patterns, build self-trust, set boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic voice. My goal is to support clients in creating lives rooted in healing, clarity, and self-acceptance.

I provide a culturally affirming, trauma-informed space for BIPOC clients to heal. Rooted in cultural humility and collaboration, my approach honors each client’s resilience while addressing systemic oppression, identity, boundaries, and self-trust through empowerment and relational depth.

Healing isn’t linear, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, seen, and supported, I’d be honored to walk alongside you with compassion and care on your healing journey.
