Hi! I am a culturally competent, trauma-informed therapist. My potential clients are looking for someone compassionate who can help them navigate the complexities of their lives. I am dedicated to providing a safe space for my clients to process and reflect on family systems, intergenerational and cultural-related issues and trauma, enmeshment, unhealthy attachment and boundaries, work-life balance and productivity, and/or other relationship conflicts. Self-esteem and self-worth issues, women's issues, avoidant behaviors, and unhealthy thinking patterns are just some of things we may work on in our sessions together.
I believe that my clients can reach inner healing and change when they feel supported, safe and empowered. I hope to use some of the therapeutic interventions, tools, and experience under my belt to help you reach the healing and life that you want to see. I strive to offer an inclusive and body-positive space for my clients.
Life can be quite challenging at times, and you have taken a big step to care for your mental health. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you to overcome complex issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar symptoms, relationship stress, and more. Accepting new referrals now.
