Carl Jung once said, "One day You will grow up and the world will ask you who You are. If You don't know who you are, the world will quickly tell You." I believe the active choices we make, play a crucial role in shaping our sense of personal satisfaction, emotional confidence, and overall well-being. Changing the story, you tell about yourself, can have a profound impact on how difficult or easy the next few years of your life will be. Will Your story be one of courage, conviction and personal empowerment, or a repetitive tale of powerlessness? Will it be a story of accountability and healing, or shame? You are the only with the power to decide you matter. Empower Your voice. Redesign and refine...Choose freedom.

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

During the first session we will spend time getting to know you, your current concerns, and any historical issues that might be compounding the present concerns. I want you to feel comfortable and right at home. The initial assessment includes discussing past mental health/healthcare issues, such as substance abuse, suicidal ideation, other medical concerns, family history, work, childhood, and most importantly, what makes you feel happiest.

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

I am compassionate, informed, COMMITTED, experienced, funny and welcoming. And, I can't wait to meet you!

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

Welcome to counseling! Mental Health professionals are finding more and more, that lingering trauma is 90% of the time, due to problems with early attachment to our first caregivers. I look forward to helping you unlock any lingering negative, or ambivalent attachments, in exchange for full freedom, and complete acceptance.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Welcome to counseling! Using ACT counseling and education, I will support you to live in the value system you design for yourself. I use humor, and a Wise-Mind Approach to help connect you to the value tools you already posses!!

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

BIPOC focused treatment for PEOPLE OF COLOR. I utilize ACE-based knowledge (Adverse Childhood Experiences), and culturally sensitive, compassion-focused clinical modalities, to help support you where you are.
