My work is grounded in a person-centered and culturally responsive approaches, honoring each client’s identity, lived experience, and unique story. In our sessions we will work collaboratively towards your goals at a pace the feels right.
I believe that one size does not fit all when it comes to healing. Everyone’s journey is different, and so are their needs. Together, we will explore what feels most supportive and effective for you. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, creating a space that is safe, affirming, and free of judgment.
I am a trauma informed therapist and aid in helping clients process and heal from experiences such as childhood trauma, generational, relational wounds, cultural or identity-based trauma, and difficult life transitions. My work is grounded in supporting marginalized communities who stories are often misunderstood or ignored in traditional mental health spaces. I work from a culturally centered lens and ensure that the work we do in sessions honors your identity, background, and lived experiences. My other focuses include depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, adjustment issues, and college and work-related stressors.
My ideal client presents with concerns surrounding stress from life transitions, identity issues, childhood and generational trauma, relational wounds, cultural or identity-based trauma.My other focuses include depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, adjustment issues, and college and work-related stressors. Together, we may work toward goals such as increasing self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, processing trauma, developing healthier relationships and boundaries, improving emotional regulation, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, navigating grief and loss, and building resilience through life's transitions.
Clients will understand how trauma has affected their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, learn skills to manage anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, or guilt.Gradually process memories of the traumatic event in a safe, structured way. Replace unhelpful beliefs (such as "I'm not safe anywhere" or "It was all my fault") with more accurate, balanced ones. Feel more in control and able to move forward
