I help my clients realize their personal goals through a trauma-informed and empathic approach. My expertise is working with people who have experienced a traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health struggles/issues, helping them uncover obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their fullest potential. My lived experience brought me to help others as I would have loved to be helped: someone to tell me I’m not alone. Life is hard, and traumas become unbearable without someone in your corner to help process what you have been through.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I get to know my clients by asking questions and building trust in a collaborative approach. I incorporate various interventions tailored specifically to meet my client’s individual needs using psychotherapy, solution-focused interventions, mindfulness practices, crisis intervention, insight-oriented techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I provide a calm, safe, non-judgmental space and tone for my clients to share their experiences. I will focus on my client's specific needs and goals, providing empathic listening with a warm, direct, and humorous approach. My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative and will reflect an outcome that will help my clients become their most functional and true selves.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My expertise is working with adolescents, individuals, and families who have experienced a traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health struggles/issues.

Dr. Em is warm, she speaks to me with a caring spirit that lets me know she cares about what happens to me in my life. She is empowering me to gain self confidence and strength to handle what life may throw at me and not become depressed concerning any situation that may arise. I love her and I’ve only had a few sessions with her. I can’t wait to see what she does with me and for me by the completion of all my therapy sessions.
