As a therapist, I specialize in providing support and guidance to children, adolescents, and adults facing a range of challenges, including behavior disorders, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual assault, and trauma. Using a personalized approach, I create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their emotions and experiences. Through techniques such as play therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care, I empower individuals to overcome obstacles, foster resilience, and embark on a journey towards healing and growth.

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

Clients who engage in therapy with me can expect to walk away with a renewed sense of empowerment and clarity. Through our collaborative work, they will gain valuable insights into themselves and their experiences, enabling them to make meaningful life changes. Together, we will work towards achievable goals aligning with their values and aspirations. Ultimately, they will leave therapy with greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence to face life's ups and downs with courage and purpose
