Together, we can gain a deeper understanding of yourself by exploring the underlying factors contributing to your challenges. I will help you to identify and transform any unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior that may have been barriers to your well-being. We will work towards enhancing your sense of empowerment, recognizing that therapy offers a safe space to explore yourself without judgment. By addressing these core issues, you can build resilience in the face of adversity and develop adaptive coping strategies that support your mental and emotional well-being.
I specialize in working with diverse populations, including experience working with at-risk youth, unhoused individuals, and diverse families. In addition, I have experience helping diverse individuals seeking services specific to anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance abuse, and other varying mental health needs.
I recognize that taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating. Please know that when you reach out to me, you will find a space of empathy and understanding. Your well-being is my sole focus, and I am here to support you every step of the way on your therapy journey.
