about Us

I received my bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in psychology from the City University of New York – Hunter College, and my master's degree in mental health counseling from Touro College. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS).

Born and raised in Harlem, NY, I traveled to Denver for vacation several years ago and fell in love with the people, the environment, and the overall chill vibe! After returning to NYC, I decided to make a permanent move to Denver because I was ready for a change. While the transition was a bit of a culture shock, Denver’s blue skies and mountain views were a refreshing contrast to the concrete jungle of the Big Apple.

In New York, Colorado, and Florida, my work focuses on supporting adults at all stages of life, from young adults in college or early in their careers to those well-established or transitioning into new phases. I provide support with the unique psychological, social, and emotional challenges that impact older adults' mental health. I support individuals in navigating the complexities of self-discovery, personal growth, and change, often providing guidance when thoughts and feelings differ from the values they were raised with. This process can be especially challenging when it involves navigating conflicts related to race, ethnicity, sexuality, or religious beliefs, and I offer a supportive space for individuals to explore and accept these changes.

I also work extensively with adults facing a wide range of life challenges, including building new relationships, working through dysfunctional family dynamics, or addressing significant life transitions such as marriage, divorce, and parenting. My support extends to those experiencing postpartum emotions, adjusting to the demands of parent-child relationships, or managing the realities of aging. Being with individuals and creating a secure space for expression as they come to terms with life changes and guiding them through periods of personal adjustment and growth is central to my practice, no matter what stage of life they are in.

On a personal note, it took overcoming many painful challenges and hurdles—some highs and many lows—to fully become who I am today. Through it all, I knew that I was worth the effort. For a long time, I have understood that working with people in this capacity is my calling because I truly know, "The struggle is real!" And now, here I am.

Coming to Denver from a place as culturally diverse as NYC has instilled in me a deep sense of openness and acceptance of those whose cultural experiences may differ from my own. I am committed to continuing my work and expanding my education to provide an environment where individuals can safely explore deeply sensitive topics that impact their daily lives in all facets of existence.

I have extensive experience running groups and working with adults and couples. I regularly attend seminars, workshops, and conferences to stay up to date on the latest theories and techniques in mental health counseling. Additionally, I conduct research and produce writings on counseling in culturally diverse contexts, which is a passion of mine.
