As a therapist, my goal is to help you to navigate through difficult situations and life changes. Together, we can focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable challenges and stressors. I have several years of experience working with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. I appreciate the complexities and challenges that life has to offer, especially from a cultural and racial lens. I hope to provide a safe space free of judgement and bias in order to allow you to feel comfortable sharing parts of your life story.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed. I have trained in various modalities, such as CBT, DBT, ACT, IPT, Mindfulness, Trauma, and Addictions. I approach our sessions with kindness and compassion, while also being authentic and honest.
Ultimately, you are the expert in your own life, so I am collaborative throughout the therapy process. Together we can develop your wellness plan. I invite you to book a free 15 minute consult to see if we are a good fit!
