As a passionate advocate for mental health and social justice, my goal is to provide psychotherapy services to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and underrepresented groups from a strength-based and empowering perspective. I firmly believe that every individual possesses innate resilience and unique strengths that can be harnessed to navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth..
My approach to psychotherapy centers around building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and cultural humility. By integrating culturally sensitive frameworks and evidence-based practices, I aim to create a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood.
Are you looking for a compassionate space to heal and grow? I'm here to listen, support, and empower you on your journey. Reach out today and let's start our therapeutic collaboration.
