My clinical approach is aligned with "Radical Healing Theory," which encompasses a holistic approach to healing beyond physical health and addresses the underlying causes of suffering and inequality. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of various social, economic, political, and environmental systems and their impact on individual and collective well-being.
Radical healing is rooted in critical theory and social justice frameworks. It challenges traditional notions of health and healing by centering marginalized voices and experiences. It seeks to dismantle oppressive structures and promote equity, justice, and liberation.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As your clinician, it is my goal to meet you at the intersection of your need(s) and my professional capacity by employing a comprehensive psycho-social assessment that may take a few sessions, which will aid in developing a rapport that will be mutually beneficial for creating a therapeutic relationship grounded in transparency, confidentiality, honesty, and safety.

My treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
The events of Trauma vary significantly in their effect on individuals, and indeed on individuals who lack social support and may feel overwhelmed with feelings of guilt, shame, or grief.
While some people may quickly recover from an adverse event, others might find their coping abilities profoundly altered, affecting their self-perception and interactions with their environment and in their relationships. Trauma-informed therapy represents a paradigm shift. It focuses on understanding the root causes of distress by asking, “What happened to you?” rather than “What’s wrong with you?” This approach emphasizes understanding a client’s complete history—both past and present—to provide effective therapeutic care.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling, also known as couples therapy or marriage counseling, focuses on helping couples improve their relationship by addressing various issues and challenges they may be facing. This form of therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for couples to communicate, resolve conflicts, and develop a deeper understanding of each other.
Couples at any stage of their relationship can benefit from couples counseling, whether newlyweds seeking premarital counseling, struggling with communication issues, dealing with infidelity or trust issues, or simply wanting to strengthen their bond.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Culturally sensitive Trauma-Informed Care refers to the capacity to provide trauma-informed assessment and intervention that acknowledges, respects effectively, and integrates patients' and families' cultural values, beliefs, and practices.
In my practice, culture extends beyond identifying a child and family's race and ethnicity to include other variables such as faith/religion, sexual orientation, region of residence, and level of acculturation, as well as closely related factors such as socioeconomic status and literacy level.
