Hello and welcome! I am looking forward to connecting with you and becoming a part of your healing journey. I have worked for many years in a variety of settings as a healing conductor, providing therapeutic supports and services to individuals of various ages from diverse backgrounds. I believe that therapy is only a part of the healing journey and would meet you wherever you are on the road to wellness. I believe that trust, genuineness, transparency, respect, and authenticity are at the core of therapeutic values and are a necessity for positive treatment outcomes.
I provide quality evidence-based behavioral and mental health treatment services. I offer an individualized approach to treatment and care that is client-centered. I use a comprehensive approach to address problematic concerns and symptoms, using informed principles and practices.
I am culturally competent yet remain open and curious about others' perspectives and experiences in life. There is no one shoe that fit all approach to providing therapy services. I use a strength-based approach, focusing on the clients’ existing resources, resilience, and qualities to support improvement in quality of life and reduce problematic symptoms.
