From adolescence to adulthood, navigating life's stressors can be challenging and overwhelming. There are moments in life where we may experience sadness, anxiety, and overall confusion about our emotions. That is why I am here to help. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to empowering individuals across all age groups and backgrounds. By tailoring my methods to meet the specific needs of each population, I aim to facilitate healing and growth, fostering resilience in my clients. Did I mention I love working with kids? Send them my way parents!
I have clinical experience working with individuals in the following areas: anxiety, depression, body focused repetitive behaviors, trichotillomania, skin picking, phobias, ADHD, stressful life transitions, OCD, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), grief & loss.
I know starting therapy can be scary. If you work with me, you'll experience a warm, welcoming environment with humor, fun and compassion. You will have a safe place where you can talk about anything and everything. I work at your pace. If that means, we need to start with coloring, going for a walk, playing a game, we'll figure it out together.
