Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Cliffside Park, NJ

As a BIPOC Therapist, I strive to provide a decolonizing, holistic and culturally sensitive space in which an individual can find healing. I have significant experience working with individuals that have experienced family trauma and issues related to family of origin which are often impacted by Colonialism, Imperialism, and forced migration. My clients are those who need assistance in navigating the challenges of their lives as professionals, siblings, parents, friends or partners impacted by various oppressive systems.

I am a dual licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical addiction and drug counselor (LCSW and LCADC) with experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in various care level and treatment environments. I strongly believe in the potential of the mind, body and spirit that empower each person to regain a balanced life, healthier relationship with others and the world. I am passionate in encouraging and empowering clients to learn and grow using various approaches meeting the unique needs of each client to resolve their issues.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where a trusting therapeutic relationship can be built. This has been, in my 18+ years of experience, the most effective way to ensure we can do meaningful work to achieve your goals. In this therapy journey, I hope to support and challenge you along the way, working collaboratively to help you live a more fulfilling life. Through my gentle guidance, clients are encouraged to be more open and introspective by identifying goals, becoming more aware of their maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, and empowering them to work towards their needs and wants.

I believe we all need unconditional support and compassionate understanding in navigating through life's unpredictable journey. I promote an empathic and positive therapeutic relationship between client and clinician that is respectful of the client's strengths and right to self-determination and encourages healing, self-awareness, and self-care. I also challenge the client to think out-of-the-box and explore the possibilities for growth and change in one's own thinking and circumstances. I am culturally sensitive and tailor therapy to the individual needs of the client as there is no one-size-fits-all therapeutic modality.
