Mindfulness
, art therapy, insight-oriented cognitive re-structuring, and the use of strategic behavioral and somatic oriented interventions make-up the core of my work.
In my work as a therapist, I guide my clients toward a self-awareness journey that is centered in sustained wellness. The majority of my recent work has involved clients whose mental health is impacted by systems of oppression. It is important to me, as a mental health professional, to cultivate deep attunement to the unique needs of individuals who identify themselves as belonging to historically excluded communities.

There is probably a lot going on in life right now, and you feel overwhelmed or at the end of your rope. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety or depression, and you find yourself "pushing through" because that is what you have always done. Or you have suffered so long, you cannot remember what it feels like to enjoy life. Perhaps you have even tried therapy in the past but it “just didn't work for me” or “my therapist didn't understand me or how to help me.” If so, it is important to receive counseling from someone qualified and willing to work to understand your specific struggles and develop a plan to accomplish your goals.
