I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years’ experience working in the behavioral health field. There are many pathways to take towards wellness, not everyone’s journey is the same. Through this creative process, we collaborate to work towards developing new insights that inform change. I believe in the importance of a strong, healthy therapeutic relationship and how it is essential to treatment. I believe treatment is most effective when we not only observe the challenges, symptoms or problems but also assess your strengths.

I grew up in a culture that wasn’t accommodating to mental health challenges. People suffered in secret, died in secret, especially with mental health-related struggles. Children are exposed at very tender ages to alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and cigarettes. Even as a child, I imagined there were better ways. This triggered my interest in working in the mental health field. With extensive experience in multicultural sensitive therapeutic skills. I am committed to supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups in developing the right coping skills to better handle challenging life, behavioral, and mental health issues.

My integrative approach combines Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients solve problems, develop essential coping skills, and enhance self-awareness through trauma-focused and psychodynamic techniques.
My focus on cognitive and emotional processing allows clients to replace maladaptive patterns with healthier ones, ultimately decreasing distress related to anxiety, depression, and PTSD. By incorporating mindfulness into our treatment plan, I am able to help clients regulate their nervous systems, improve interpersonal effectiveness

It is time for you to be empowered, time for you to leave your worries at the door, time to create a safe space to process your stressors, and redefine your feelings/thoughts/distress. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and believe that therapy is a team approach. You have the voice to work together to create your own new path. Each person is unique and the therapeutic approach should be that way as well. I do not believe in therapy being a "one shoe fits all" approach and as a result I am more of an eclectic therapist.

If you've been through trauma, you know it can shape the way you move through life - how safe you feel, how much you trust, how you show up everyday. Healing doesn't mean pretending everything is fine. It means having a space where your story is honored and you feel seen and respected.
