Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life stressors begin affecting your daily life and relationships. Seeking support is a sign of strength, and therapy can be a powerful pathway toward healing, growth, and renewed hope.
I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we will work to identify obstacles, develop healthy coping strategies, and create meaningful changes that support your emotional well-being and personal goals. I am EMDR-trained, 50hr+ EMDRIA
With over 10 years of experience in both psychiatric hospital and outpatient mental health settings, I have worked with child/adolescents, adults, and geriatrics experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress management difficulties, Additionally, I am trained in spiritual/religious counseling.
I specialize in helping adults and adolescents heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions through evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and faith-integrated counseling.” EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
