"I practice from an individual, multicultural, and collaborative framework. This means that the type of therapy you receive will depend on your unique identity, strengths, symptoms, and struggles. We will work together to determine which therapeutic processes and interventions are the best fit for you and your goals. In addition, I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is my relationship with my clients and the trust, care, support, and understanding that develops. This relational bond is balanced with growth strategies to promote recovery, resiliency, empowerment, and to help my clients' make positive changes in their lives."

"I believe we are born as connected, whole human beings but through experiences in life, we can disconnect from our authentic self, leading to distress, mental health issues and confusion. I believe that by creating a safe and supportive space, clients can courageously navigate their emotions and reconnect to their innate wisdom so that they can live a full, meaningful life. With emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, I use a collaborative approach and tailor my sessions to support each unique client."

"We are each on a personal journey, which is filled with challenges and opportunities ... seeking balance and harmony with our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions - the full integration of well-being. We often look for answers, but they do not come as quickly as we want. We become impatient, discouraged, frustrated, angry and stuck. Be patient with the process ... Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered as you walk a positive path towards growth, development and wellness."
