What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In my care, clients experience a transformative journey, breaking free from struggles to discover resilience. Through personalized support, trust, and encouragement, they reclaim self-worth and identity. Together, we navigate mental health challenges, fostering coping skills and mindfulness. Beyond symptom management, I empower them to rebuild connections, inspiring advocacy for mental health. They can rewrite their story and navigate mental health with resilience.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Culturally sensitive therapy respects diverse backgrounds, integrating clients' cultural values, beliefs, and experiences into treatment. Therapists adapt techniques, communication styles, and interventions to honor cultural norms, fostering trust, understanding, and effectiveness in addressing mental health concerns within the context of clients' cultural identities.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness, acceptance, and non-judgment. Clients learn to observe thoughts and sensations without attachment, reducing stress and promoting well-being. Techniques include meditation, deep breathing, and body scans. By fostering self-awareness, it enhances resilience and fosters a compassionate relationship with oneself and others.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, collaborative approach used in psychotherapy to help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about change. In MI, I focus on creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. This is achieved by using empathetic listening, open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflective statements. I work with clients to identify their own reasons for change, tapping into their intrinsic motivation. Through this collaborative process, I guide them in exploring the discrepancies between their current behaviors and their goals, fostering an environment where change feels more achievable. The goal is not to impose solutions but to empower clients to tap into their strengths and motivation, ultimately guiding them toward making informed decisions and lasting change. MI is particularly useful for clients struggling with issues like addiction, anxiety, or depression, where ambivalence about change can be a significant barrier
