As a systemic therapist, I believe in the exploration of all cultural and societal messages, norms, and values that have shaped my clients into who they are today. Making the brave decision to begin therapy is often preceded by many obstacles and challenges, and it is important to me to take the necessary time to walk through clients' stories and reflect on their experiences. I work to create a safe, trusting, and open environment where my clients and I can exchange constructive feedback. I believe that the therapy room is a space for emotional vulnerability, reflection, and growth.
I provide therapy services to youth, adults, couples, and families. I work with my clients on identifying their strengths, and building their self-esteem. I have experience working from a Trauma-focused perspective, and working with multi-stressed families. I work with couples on strengthening boundaries, emotional vulnerability, intimacy, and communication.
I will continually strive to create a therapy room that is a safe space for people of all cultural backgrounds and identities. I will always work to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. It is important to me that my clients always feel safe enough to engage in open dialogue with me, I view therapy as a collaborative process.
