Hi! I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depressive disorders, grieving, self-esteem, social skills, and relationship issues. I provide individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults. I am passionate about working with clients from diverse backgrounds and strive to incorporate cultural competence in my therapeutic practice. I believe it’s crucial to provide psychotherapy and preventative services to clients from diverse backgrounds who may be unaware of potential warning signs and risk factors associated with mental health disorders.
I prioritize providing a collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable expressing your feelings and thoughts and to meet your therapeutic goals. I specialize in using interventions including play therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and much more!
If you feel like we would be a great match, please reach out! We will work together to find an intervention that works best for you! I look forward to working with you!
