I use my voice and skills as a tool to advocate for others, building critical consciousness and awareness. Becoming critically conscious has played a significant role in my personal and professional life. My counseling approach is centered on the Client-Centered Counseling approach to Counseling and Mindfulness-Based Counseling. Counseling approaches include CBT, ACT, and DBT, emphasizing self-esteem building. Treating symptoms: Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and challenges with life transitions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal is to incorporate creativity, acknowledge and encourage the unique perspectives of my clients, and meet them where they are in life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I work to build trust in my clients, as this will allow them to feel safe and comfortable reaching outside of their comforts of growing and healing.

Supportive
Counseling professionals working from the philosophy of supporting their clients in becoming the best versions of themselves challenge their clients with goals and objectives geared towards building critical consciousness, which promotes critical reflection. My clients are inspired to begin to take ownership of their healing by engaging in activities that support personal growth. My objective is to inspire others to become empowered and motivate them to engage in critical self-reflection that promotes growth and development, along with the power to change the lives of others through knowledge that is based on liberation and healing.
