As a therapist, my goal is to empower you to tap into your inner strength and resilience, giving you the tools to reclaim control over your life. I strive to create a space that is compassionate and empathetic; a space where you can express yourself freely and without judgement. I am here to support you. Together, we can address life’s transitions, chronic health concerns, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and identity-related issues. If you are ready to take that first step toward reclaiming your inner power, please reach out via email or request a consultation call on my website.
I see our therapeutic partnership as a journey—where you’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to guide and support you. My approach is integrative, combining CBT, DBT, multicultural counseling, SFBT, Brainspotting, and EMDR. We’ll tailor this approach to fit your unique needs, helping you navigate your path, and find new directions when needed.
