Culturally Sensitive Therapy

With a PhD in Family Therapy, I approach every family system through a culturally responsive and inclusive lens. My work honors the diverse identities, values, and traditions that shape each person’s story. Whether I’m supporting couples in strengthening communication, helping families deepen connection, or working with LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships, I tailor my approach to each client’s cultural context, lived experience, and unique strengths.

Couples Counseling

In couples counseling, I focus on helping partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild trust. My approach is collaborative, supporting each partner in expressing their needs while fostering understanding and connection. I work with couples to identify patterns that may be causing tension and provide practical tools to strengthen the relationship. Whether you're navigating challenges in communication or seeking to rekindle intimacy, my goal is to guide you in creating a more fulfilling and harmonious partnership.

Trauma Informed Care

In my practice, I incorporate a trauma-informed care approach, recognizing the impact of past trauma on current emotional and relational challenges. I create a safe and compassionate space where individuals and families can explore their experiences without fear of judgment. By understanding how trauma affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, I help clients develop coping strategies and resilience. My approach prioritizes empowerment, healing, and fostering a sense of control in the therapeutic process, allowing clients to move forward with greater emotional well-being and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as an effective treatment method to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In my practice, I use CBT to assist individuals in identifying negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress or unhealthy behaviors. Through a structured, goal-oriented approach, we work together to challenge and reframe those thoughts, replacing them with more balanced and constructive ones. I guide clients in developing practical coping strategies and skills to manage anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, ultimately empowering them to achieve healthier emotional and behavioral outcomes.
