I am a compassionate and experienced therapist specializing in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. With a focus on building strong relationships and fostering personal growth, I empower clients to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a culturally competent therapist. My approach is collaborative and tailored, providing a safe space for meaningful change and lasting solutions.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your challenges, strengths, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your unique needs, and I’ll ensure you feel heard and supported every step of the way. This initial session sets the foundation for a collaborative and productive therapeutic journey.
My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in my ability to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and challenges.
