What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming, safe space where you can share your concerns at your own pace.

We’ll also talk about your preferences for therapy and how I can best support you in achieving the changes you’re looking for. I’ll explain the different approaches I use, such as Brainspotting and Culturally Competent Therapy, and how they can help you work through emotional distress or trauma. The first session is an opportunity for us to build rapport, establish trust, and ensure that you feel comfortable with the process. You’ll leave with a better sense of how we can work together and what to expect moving forward, and I’ll ensure that you have a clear understanding of the next steps in your therapy journey.

Brainspotting
In my work as a therapist, I use Brainspotting to help clients work through deep emotions, trauma, or unresolved issues. It’s especially helpful for people who find it hard to talk about their pain or past experiences. Brainspotting helps people connect with parts of their brain that store these emotions and memories, so they can safely process and release them. I combine Brainspotting with other therapy techniques based on what each client needs. For those dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or emotional struggles, Brainspotting can be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. It helps clients work through emotional challenges in a way that can lead to greater peace and stability.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
In my practice, I prioritize cultural sensitivity because I believe it’s essential to respect and understand each person’s unique background and experiences. I recognize that culture influences how we see the world, cope with challenges, and connect with others, which is why I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where your cultural identity and values are respected. By actively listening to your personal story, including your cultural background and beliefs, I can better understand how these factors shape your experiences and challenges. I aim to build a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship, tailoring our work together to fit your needs while honoring your cultural perspectives. Ultimately, my goal is to empower you to feel understood and supported, helping you make progress in ways that feel authentic and meaningful to you.
Trauma Informed Care
I use Trauma-Informed Care to create a safe, supportive environment where you can feel understood and empowered. I recognize that trauma affects each person differently, and I approach our work with patience, respect, and sensitivity. I ensure that you are in control of your healing process, allowing you to go at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. By focusing on safety, trust, and collaboration, I help you build resilience and work through your trauma in a way that feels right for you. This compassionate, client-centered approach ensures that your experiences are validated and respected throughout our work together.
Relational
I use Relational Therapy to emphasize the importance of relationships in shaping emotional well-being. I believe that healing happens in the context of a strong, trusting relationship between therapist and client. I work with you to explore how past and present relationships—whether with family, friends, or yourself—affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By creating a safe space for open communication, we can identify patterns that may be holding you back and work together to shift them. Ultimately, I aim to help you build healthier, more fulfilling relationships both with others and yourself.
Multicultural
I use Multicultural Therapy to recognize and respect the unique cultural identities and experiences that shape each client’s life. I understand that culture plays a significant role in how you view the world and navigate challenges, so I work to ensure that your cultural background is acknowledged and valued throughout our sessions. Together, we explore how your cultural experiences influence your emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, tailoring our work to fit your specific needs and worldview. My goal is to empower you to embrace your cultural identity while helping you navigate any challenges in a way that feels authentic and supportive.
