I have experience providing counseling to children and adolescents in a variety of settings, both within the community and in schools. In my most recent role as an intensive in-community clinician, I provided therapeutic services to children and their caregivers. Utilizing a strengths-based perspective, I have successfully assisted clients and their families. I am passionate about helping families and children.
To achieve the best possible outcomes, I empower and educate my clients to assist them in developing coping skills to address their mental health needs. My approach involves collaborative work with clients to enhance their overall quality of life. I offer emotional support and guidance to my clients dealing with adjustment issues and significant life changes
Taking the steps to change and move forward is never easy, but know we are in this together. I have worked with many clients of various cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. I come from a multi-cultural family and have a passion for working with teens and adolescents. My style is non-judgmental to allow you to feel accepted, validated, and understood.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
