Seeking therapy can be an uncomfortable experience that takes a lot of courage. Making an initial appointment is the first step of the process of healing and becoming the best version of ourselves. Therapy allows self-reflection, support, and insight. Although the process is not linear and there may be some painful and halting moments, it is a chance to figure out what is and isn’t doing you justice. I view my clients holistically and work collaboratively with them to have a better understanding of how they live their lives and how to achieve better functioning and life satisfaction.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings with various clinical needs. I greatly enjoy working with multicultural issues, depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, interpersonal problems, low self-esteem, trauma, emotion-regulation, social challenges, identity development, and adjustment challenges.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies and Cultural Relational Theory in my work with clients. My goal in therapy is to provide a compassionate environment that allows clients to be the expert of their lives and find their place within their environments, identities, and their pursuits of wellness.
