About
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience, I provide culturally competent, identity-affirming therapy grounded in social justice. I understand that our backgrounds and systemic environments heavily shape our mental health.
I believe in seeing a person for who they are and focusing on your strengths and values as appose to conceptualizing an individual based on there presenting problems.
That’s why I take a strength-based, person-centered approach to help individuals navigate career stress, relationship challenges, and self-discovery. Utilizing tools from an integrative therapy conceptualization , I don't just look at your symptoms; I look at your whole self. Your challenges are only a portion of who you are, and together, we will build on your core values to foster lasting healing and a positive self-concept. If you are struggling with career burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, or relationship issues, I am here to help you become the best version of yourself. My goal is to highlight your inherent strengths and values, ensuring your cultural background and lived experiences are honored throughout your healing journey.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions. We will discuss further background information and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through on your journey of healing and improvement.
Strengths
I leverage my years of clinical experience and training to cultivate a safe, warm, and identity-affirming space where you can feel fully heard. My approach stands out because it is deeply strength-based; rather than defining you by your problems, we will focus on your inherent resilience and core values. Together, we will work directly to identify the root causes of what's holding you back while co-creating an actionable, tailored plan that promotes lasting healing, self-empowerment, and a positive self-concept.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve motivated people who find themselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely stuck in their personal or professional lives. You might be experiencing a loss of self or struggling to balance high expectations with your mental well-being. If you are deeply receptive to change and eager to grow, but need the concrete tools to make it happen, we will be a great fit. In our sessions, we will focus on building coping mechanisms, setting boundaries, and achieving clarity so you can move forward with confidence.
Treatment methods
Integrative
As a clinician, I understand that our well-being has various parts to it. I strive to understand the client as a person from a emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual perspective. This allows me to extract the right techniques from several approaches to create your very own tailor made therapy experience. I subscribe to psychoeducation, mindfulness based, expressive arts, CBT Client-centered, Motivational interviewing and SFBT, Trauma Informed care therapeutic approaches.
