What if you stopped giving fear so much power? Fear tells you to shy away from what you truly want and to censor who you actually are. Over time, hiding and lying can make it hard for you to feel certain about what you want so you wait around for people to tell you what to do. It’s become easy to depend on others to make decisions for you. But you realize that this is not the life you want to lead. You want to trust in yourself and not constantly rely on others for reassurance. You want to be you and I’m here to help you get there.

Clients can expect me to be culturally sensitive. I will work collaboratively with each client to help achieve the best results in treatment. After an initial evaluation, I will provide a diagnosis, and over the next 2-3 sessions, we will begin formulating a treatment plan based on goals set by the client. These personal treatment goals will help guide the course of therapy. My experience working with clients from so many different backgrounds has also helped shape my view that everyone, despite our differences and struggles, has so much to offer.
