I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to achieve the wellness goals you set for yourself. I work with individuals and couples who are faced with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss and other life stage challenges. With over 17 years experience, I have a good understanding of the impact of systemic oppression and marginalization on individuals and I carry out my work with empathy, compassion and cultural sensitivity.
I apply cultural sensitivity and humility in my therapy work. I take into account my clients' intersectional identities, generational and historical trauma when diagnosing and treating. I am trained in Cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for hoarding disorder, clinical practice with older adults, and interpersonal psychotherapy.
It can be challenging to make the decision to work on a difficult issue, but once you take the first step, the benefits and impact can make a great difference. I am happy to help, and to go on this journey with you. I have evening and weekend availability. You can book with me by clicking on my website.
