Becoming a therapist was never on my list of 'things I want to be when I grow up.' It wasn’t until I needed to sit down and talk to someone that I realized what I truly wanted to do with my life. As a naturally empathetic person, I wanted to learn how to help people heal emotionally and mentally.

I recognized how the mental health field underserved people with OCD, resulting in misdiagnosis. I wanted to learn how to make the difference the field desperately needs. I was intrigued by the treatment for OCD, and I wanted to master ERP to better serve the community.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I focus on systemic issues in couples and intimate relationships. In addition to those areas and OCD, I have extensive experience in eating disorders, body dysmorphia and body image issues, anxiety and depression disorders, and minority mental health awareness. As a person who previously faced an eating disorder, I wanted to go into the field to assist with furthering the research and helping people heal, and to show up for other people of color going through eating disorder treatment.
