LMHC, 5 years of experience
Hi there! I'm a therapist who specializes in helping people overcome people-pleasing tendencies and trauma. You might be tired of constantly putting the needs of others before your own, feeling like you're never enough, or struggling to set healthy boundaries. It can be overwhelming to navigate these challenges on your own, but together, we can work towards building your self-esteem, creating space for your own needs, and developing new ways of communicating with others. If you've experienced trauma, it can be difficult to trust others and feel safe in your everyday life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or other symptoms that make it hard to move forward. I want you to know that healing is possible, and you don't have to go through this alone. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, I can help you process your experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and move towards a more fulfilling life.
During your first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you will have the opportunity to speak openly and honestly about your feelings. As your therapist, I will ask questions to get to know you better and understand what you hope to achieve through therapy. We will develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. We will also explore different strategies and techniques that can help you overcome the challenges you are facing and improve your mental and emotional well-being. I aim to empower you by giving you the tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. With consistency, dedication, and trust in the therapeutic process, you can achieve long-lasting positive change in your life.
I pride myself on my ability to build strong, trusting relationships with my clients. I am compassionate, empathetic, and able to meet my clients where they are, without judgment. I have a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and am skilled at helping my clients navigate their struggles. Additionally, I have a strong knowledge base of evidence-based treatment modalities and am able to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where my clients can heal and thrive.

As a therapist, it’s hard to find culturally relevant care with the depth to catch my blindspots. I came in with stress from a pending divorce, social isolation, and deep self-neglect. Roquel used Brainspotting, IFS, and her humble, supportive energy to help me heal preverbal and intergenerational trauma I’ve been trying to address for a decade. I’m calmer, more connected—and my heart rate dropped from 91 to 83 in the 5 weeks since we've been working together. Roquel is literally saving my life!
Brainspotting is a body-brain treatment approach that aims to help client process trauma through spots in the field of vision that connect directly to a brain spot where traumatic experiences are stored. It can also be used to treat addictions/unwanted behavior, self-esteem, and grief.
CBT helps clients recognize, challenge, and replace unwanted/unhelpful thoughts/behaviors that lead to low self-esteem, people pleasing, relationship conflicts, and more.
