Seeking therapy and exploring your mental health needs can sometimes be a daunting decision. Feeling ambivalent toward therapy is common; To minimize any uncertainty one might feel, I incorporate Strength-Based and Recovery Oriented therapeutic interventions.

I emulate your personal goals and incorporate them into our therapeutic relationship to develop and formulate coping skills that are best suited to minimize the identified stressors.

I believe you are doing the best you can. I also know that a lifetime of numerous external factors have a way of shifting and molding your perspective and abilities.

That's where I come in. I believe that psychotherapy acts as a path towards self-discovery. When you truly understand your own patterns, motivations, and wounds, you have a divine offer to evolve into the healthiest version of yourself.
