I am a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience. I specialize in working with children, adolescence, families, those experiencing anxiety, and trauma. I have experience working with children, adolescence, and families from diverse backgrounds in the school setting, crisis intervention services, outpatient setting, and an intensive after school behavior program. I work with individuals and families who have and continue to experience complex trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, attention and hyperactivity issues, grief and loss, behavioral difficulties, and relational conflict. I use a human centered, strengths based, and trauma informed approach as well as relaxation and self-care skills to help clients heal from trauma and stress. I utilize cognitive therapy skills to help clients heal from intrusive thoughts that contribute to anxiety and depression. I am telehealth only. Please message me to schedule!

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

I ensure that therapy is a safe place for my clients to grow and process thoughts, feelings, hardships, stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Trauma and chronic stress can be detrimental to your life and it can be helpful to engage in therapy to process through these hardships and to learn healthy coping skills. I am here to be a partner in this process, as I believe you are the expert of your own journey. I strive to be anti-racist, inclusive, an ally and work to ensure that I am culturally competent. I treat clients as a whole person incorporating and nurturing all facets of your identity, in conjunction with my own awareness of my race. I acknowledge and recognize how my race and privilege plays a role in therapy as well as in everyday life and work to ensure this is not harmful b

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Collaboration, feedback, and rapport building will be essential in therapy sessions to ensure you receive the best care possible. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and relaxation skills, DBT skills, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. However, I will work with you to identify appropriate therapy goals and interventions.

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

I believe everyone could benefit from speaking to a therapist to process everyday stress, trauma, relationship issues, work pressure, oppression, anxiety, and depression. I approach therapy with unconditional positive regard, empathy, active listening, genuine care, and support. I strive to meet you where you are and ensure your concerns are addressed.
