I am a culturally sensitive, clinical social worker. I incorporate in my therapy holding a secure space for my clients to be their authentic selves, building trust for connection, security, and safety. I bring presence and awareness to the therapeutic process fostering hope, self-awareness, personal growth, and self-compassion. In the therapeutic process I help clients transform by cultivating healthier relationships with themselves and others.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, I will conduct an initial assessment to better understand the client's background, mental health history, and goals for therapy. Clients will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their personal history in a warm supportive environment. The therapist will share about their background and approach to therapy. Client's will be informed about confidentiality.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider my greatest strengths are empathy, compassion, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity. I excel at creating a safe space for my clients to feel seen, heard, and valued. My ability to understand and relate to clients' emotions with authenticity fosters a supportive environment enabling me to connect with clients from various cultures, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs.
