"You are your best thing"-Toni Morrison. Growing through this journey we call life will unfortunately bring things you can't control & it's not always easy to cope & it's not always easy to talk to someone. Going to therapy doesn't "fix" you. It enhances you, it helps you to better understand why you struggle with certain patterns & behaviors & why you feel stuck at times. So, pat yourself on the back for choosing yourself, right now in this moment & for making the right decision to strive beyond where you are. Know you don't have to walk this journey alone. I'm a diverse & creative therapist who is passionate about helping people rise above unfortunate obstacles to help them reach a potential they didn't know they had within them. Yes, you have the potential to be a better version of yourself. It has always been there. It's the inner strength you haven't tapped into yet. Some of my specialties are helping individuals who struggle with: low-self esteem, relationship issues, PTSD, over-thinking, boundary setting, codependency, low-confidence, self-worth & perfectionism, high achiever's. Ask yourself this one question in this very moment, what's holding you back? Let's walk this journey together. You got this!

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a mental health therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have guided clients through structured, evidence based interventions, identifying & challenging unhelpful thoughts & teach tailored coping skills. I also integrate CBT by, structured sessions, psychoeducation (helping clients understand the thought–emotion–behavior cycle) & providing homework to track progress & reinforce learning between sessions.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

With extensive training in mindfulness based interventions, I have supported clients in cultivating present moment awareness, self compassion & stress resilience.

Motivational Interviewing

As a mental health therapist skilled in Motivational Interviewing (MI), I have guided clients through a collaborative, client centered process that brings out their own motivations for change. I utilize core MI techniques, open ended questions, reflective listening, affirmations & summarizing to help clients resolve doubt & strengthen commitment to goals.

Strength-Based

With experience in strength based therapy, I focus on identifying & increasing clients’ innate resources, such as resilience, skills, values & past successes to foster growth.

Trauma-Focused CBT

With extensive training in trauma informed care, I create a therapy environment grounded in safety, trust, collaboration & empowerment. I focus on the clients' strengths & resilience recognizing clients’ existing coping strategies & resources & building upon these to foster post traumatic growth.

Arrived extremely late. Felt uncomfortable talking to her, kept comparing my trauma to another one of her clients stating her clients trauma is worse then mine without even knowing my story or my trauma. Mind you its our first session. A day after our Virtual appointment she messaged me stating shes not the right therapist for me and I should look for another therapist
