As your therapist, I create a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere to bring comfort in expressing your thoughts and feelings. Gaining a deeper understanding of oneself in a positive environment promotes growth, change and emotional well being. My aim is to hold space for all the parts of your inner world, and to collaboratively reflect on thoughts, behaviors and beliefs that no longer serve you. As a culturally-sensitive and trauma informed clinician, sessions will explore how past experiences have shaped your life, and to gain understanding on habits and behaviors that you feel are holding you back. Together we can explore ways to heal.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, emotion/mood dysregulation, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, eating disorders, and addictions. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches, techniques and practical tools based on your individual needs to help you feel empowered in your healing journey.
Life can be challenging at times. Counseling is a great way to work with a professional on managing your stresses and learning ways to cope. My aim is to empower you, provide you with useful tools for success, and ultimately assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. I am accepting new clients for tele-therapy sessions daytime & evening appts.
