A bit about my approach to therapy

I am committed to providing the highest quality of resilience focused behavioral based therapeutic outpatient services. I will facilitate the space for the change and empower individuals to achieve self-actualization by focusing on the process of restoration, redemption, and astute self-reflection.

What you can expect from our first session

God – God’s love and grace motivates us to serve

Excellence – We demand excellence of ourselves by exceptional practices, which lead to exceptional results, we continue to strive for uncompromising quality in all that we do.

Resilience – We believe resilience is made up of five pillars: self-awareness, mindfulness, self-care, positive relationships, and purpose. By strengthening these pillars, we in turn, become more resilient.
