Although we come from many different walks of life, your story matters. I am here to assure you that your journey does not have to be navigated through alone. My goal is to work together with you in discovering who you once were, who you are now, & who & where you want to be. I believe we can learn to control our thoughts & emotions in order to heal, discover peace, & find empowerment. In this journey of self-discovery, I hope to provide you with a non-judgmental & supportive, safe space while focusing on developing genuine trust & connection.
My experience includes working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships issues, self-esteem issues, and mood disorders. I have worked with children, teens, families, and couples to learn to communicate better with one another, develop healthy boundaries, and create a harmonious home environment.
In therapy, I will meet you where you are at and will help you feel seen, heard, safe, and valued. I am a culturally sensitive therapist with a Strengths Based, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral approach. I am grateful to support you in your journey towards personal growth and finding balance, self-compassion, and fulfillment.
