Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm a psychotherapist under the License of Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have work with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, life changes/transitions, racial/cultural/environmental stressors and LGBTQ IA+ support.

My counseling style is non-judgmental, warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My technique combines solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, psychodynamic and client centered counseling.

.

My approach to therapy

There are times when a person feels emotionally “stuck” and feel there is no way to undo it. I know this view well myself!

In being part of your support, we can aim to finding techniques to get you on pathway to finding your desired balance.

As your therapist, we will explore any factors(past and present) that contribute to your current life sequences; while building upon your strengths.

What you can expect from me

We will identify the most effective intervention therapy strategies & coping skills to attain your personal therapeutic goals.
