Hello there! Welcome! My professional path is driven by a profound dedication to inclusivity and social equity. I center my efforts on fostering mental well-being, providing essential coping skills, breaking down mental health stigma, and emphasizing the transformative and empowering nature of the healing process. In my practice, I adopt a compassionate and empathetic approach to create a secure and affirming space for clients. I guide them through their mental health challenges, helping them discover resilience on their unique journey towards healing. I firmly believe everyone should have a supportive environment to explore their challenges and embark on a personalized path to healing. I started my career as a clinician in community mental health, where I provided crucial support to individuals and families grappling with issues such as anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients, tailoring evidence-based modalities such as CBT, TF-CBT, and solution-focused therapy to meet their unique needs. In addition to individual therapy, I have facilitated groups for adolescents and adults centered on stress management, emotional regulation, and grief. I am committed to continuous learning and growth. I am excited to bring my passion and dedication to my practice, offering a compassionate and effective therapeutic experience to individuals seeking support and transformation.
In our first session, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. We’ll start by discussing your current challenges, therapy goals, and any past experiences with therapy. I’ll also take time to understand your cultural background to ensure our approach is tailored to your needs. I’ll introduce the evidence-based methods I use, such as CBT, TF-CBT, or solution-focused therapy, and we’ll set some initial goals and outline a plan for our sessions. My focus will be on building a strong, collaborative relationship to support your journey toward healing and growth.
