Mental health challenges of your own or a loved one can cause such confusion and pain. Broken relationships can hurt so deeply. These things can put our lives in a wobble and cause us to lose meaning and joy in life. It can cause nagging anxiety or even depression; resulting in anxious thoughts playing on a loop in our minds, yet with the confusion of not knowing where to go from here. Rest assured that hope is just around the corner. You took the first step in reaching out and looking for help. We all need to feel seen and heard and know that we are not alone.
You have come to the right place! I am trained through an MA in Clinical Psychology with licenses in Marriage & Family Therapy Associate and Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, to address those very things. Having worked in multiple other countries I understand other cultures, as well as, my own culture.
Together, we will walk side by side, coming up with goals and solutions to life's many challenges. To set your mind at ease, I am proficient in Relationship Therapy, Family Therapy, Trauma Work, Attachment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Teen & Young Adult work and so much more. I look forward to meeting you!
