I know life can throw us curveballs, making it challenging to navigate alone, so congratulations on taking this important step on your healing journey. I understand firsthand the mix of emotions that come with starting therapy. Having walked a similar path to many of my clients, I know how challenging healing can be. Seeking help is brave, even though it can feel intimidating at first. It marks the beginning of overcoming life's hurdles and finding a path forward. I specialize in supporting clients through life adjustments, depression, trauma, stress, anxiety, and career and relationship challenges.
I meet each client where they are, providing a safe and supportive space for self-discovery. Using mindfulness, DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and culturally responsive techniques, I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, fostering growth, healing, and resilience.
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. If you're ready to take the next step or have additional questions, please reach out to me directly. I offer a free consultation to address your therapeutic needs and discuss how I can support you. I wish you the very best on your journey to recovery and wellness.
