I believe that positive change can occur when we are given the space to explore the ways in which we cope with our life experiences. Seeking therapy is an honorable step towards living a more purposeful and balanced life. I prioritize creating a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment , which enables us to explore ourselves through our own unique story. My goal in therapy is to facilitate healing for individuals by looking at each person through a holistic, culturally sensitive, and strength-based lens. I am passionate about embracing inclusivity and working with diverse populations encompassing all backgrounds. My clinical experience includes community counseling/non-profit, college counseling, adolescent group therapy, and private practice settings. I have experience working with life-transitions , identity challenges & formation, anxiety, depression , LGBTQ+ related issues, and cultural & racial related challenges. I also work with activists and healers that need support during local and global crises. I employ a wide-range of approaches personalized to client’s needs with a person-centered , strengths-based , and mind-body foundation. Let’s unpack and process for a more fulfilling existence.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. There will be some questions about current status and some history/context for what brings you to therapy. This will help you and I create a tailored vision/plam for us to work through for future follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a person-centered approach with an emphasis on mindfulness, existentialism, and trauma-informed approaches through a culturally informed lens.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My work focuses on identity, with an emphasis on diversity affirming care , cultural understanding, strength-based, and solution-focused approaches where appropriate. I will meet you where you are at in your life-journey and proceed at your pace.
