I am a passionate therapist and advocate dedicated to helping clients heal, grow, and thrive. I seek to create a safe, affirming space for you to explore your story, process life events, and build resilience. My background in social work and mental health allows me to use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach that honors your mind, body, and soul.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on understanding you as a whole person. I seek to understand how you are impacted by your environment and how you in turn, influence the world around you. I integrate a strength-based framework that highlights resilience and self-determination, drawing from Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My goal is to help you uncover patterns, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
In the first session, you can expect a welcoming and relaxed environment focused on getting to know you. I will take time to learn about your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. Together, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your strengths, and identify what a supportive and meaningful therapeutic relationship looks like for you. I will also explain my approach, answer any questions, and collaborate with you to create an individualized plan that aligns with your needs and values.
