I'm a License Clinical Counselor with more than 13 years of experience listening and helping adult, young adults, and adolescent clients who seek relief from stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, interpersonal problems, trauma, grief, anger, and spiritual concerns. Clients have found that I'm sensitive, discerning, and have helped them see things through the kaleidoscope of diversity, such as race, class, ethnicity, immigration experience, rising from poverty through education and professional development.

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

In our first session, you will feel heard, understood, and validated. We will begin to identify what has worked for you and what hasn't, and begin to formulate an idea of what may explain why you are going through what you are going through and collaboratively identify approaches that have worked for others but will be unique for you.

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

I possess the capacity for deep listening, I'm discerning, have the ability to "see" things through your experience, I won't judge you but instead seek to understand your thoughts, emotions/feelings, actions, and the meaning you give to your experience.
