About Me

My personal and professional growth have been shaped by my experiences living across three continents. Through these experiences I have been able to broaden my understanding of diverse cultures and the emotional complexities of life. Asia played an influential during my formative years, and Africa provided me the opportunity to pursue a degree in psychology, sparking my enthusiasm for the field of therapy. After moving to the United States, I earned additional graduate degrees and became licensed as a professional counselor (LPC) and addictions counselor (LCADC). My diverse experiences enable me to provide holistic therapeutic services to individuals from all walks of life.

Before becoming a mental health therapist, I worked in the marketing industry. This experience taught me how societal and cultural expectations can significantly impact mental health. The pressure to conform to physical or emotional standards of beauty, can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Such feelings in turn, can contribute to the development of anxiety, depression, body image struggles, and even undiagnosed trauma.

My path to becoming a mental health therapist involved my personal journey. The experiences and challenges faced in my formative years resulted in a scarred childhood which led to three things.

1. The need to heal
2. A focus on the importance of Mental & Emotional Health
3. The desire to help others by providing therapy
