As an integrative therapist, I use the approach/es that most resonate with you to help you understand the causes to your distress as well as identify ways to help you cope in a personalized manner and attain your goals. With validation, compassion, an open-mindset, and flexibility to healing, I can help you be, do and feel better to live a happier life. I've worked with individuals who have/are suicidal, self-harming, drug & alcohol addiction, sexual abuse, domestic violence, complex trauma, physical illness, child abuse & neglect, autism, anxiety, grief, depression, ptsd, homeless, at-risk, terminal illness and gender distress. Taking care of yourself and establishing your boundaries are key. Please feel free to ask me any questions, and I'll reply as soon as possible. I deeply care about each person I do therapy for and can provide necessary referrals. You've made it this far! Continue taking the steps towards booking your therapy session and strengthen yourself. My best to you!

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

In our first session together, we will do an overall biopsychosocial assessment to have an overview and better help you. The following sessions we will work on establishing and taking steps towards your treatment goals.

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