It takes courage to accept and seek help and set out on your recovery journey. My focus in our work will be on meeting you where you are at and in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaborate and explore what can be helpful in addressing your needs, wants, and barriers to getting them met. Together, we will challenge ourselves to show up authentically in relationship so we can examine the areas of your life that you would like support in. These areas can often include examining how systemic and cultural factors influence our perception of ourselves, others, and the world. My hope in our work together is that you'll come away with a renewed sense of self and identity that not only addresses the hardships and challenges you have endured, but also empowers you to affirm your sense of agency, and make your mark on the world.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session together we will discuss what concerns/symptoms you would like to address in therapy and how they impact your life. We will then collaboratively develop treatment goals to guide our work together. If you have participated in psychotherapy in the past, we will discuss what you found most helpful during those experiences. I will also hold space for us both to get to know each other on a relational level in order to ensure that the therapeutic space is a good fit for you going forward.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I feel my greatest strengths as a psychotherapist lie in my multifaceted approach and my commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients. I always aim to meet clients where they are at in order to foster a deep sense of trust and collaboration, allowing them to explore their emotions in a grounded and supportive environment. My background in community mental health allowed me the opportunity of working with a culturally diverse clientele and I strive to provide the highest quality of care tailored to their unique background and needs. Through our work together, I hope to utilize these strengths in order to empower you to navigate your challenges with resilience and authenticity.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in serving clients who are seeking support in navigating their mental health journey with a blend of trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic techniques. My approach is especially beneficial for individuals striving to cultivate a robust sense of self and enhance their functioning to enact significant transformations in their lives. By acknowledging cultural and systemic factors that contribute to clients' symptoms, I aim to empower them to reclaim agency over their narratives and work collaboratively toward their goals, fostering resilience and growth in the face of adversity.
