Do you feel at times misunderstood, unheard, or there is something stopping you and you can't put a pin on it? I love to empower clients through difficult times by providing them support, guidance, and developing skills to accomplish their goals and not let mental health become a limitation. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and helping individuals better manage the symptoms that may be affecting their everyday life. I have worked in community based therapy and private practice. I've worked with individuals as young as 13, as well as families and adults, and I have specialized training in MATCH for children under 18 experiencing anxiety and depression. I have also training and experience utilizing Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). During our session, I provide psycho-education on symptoms, help clients understand patterns to their thoughts/ behaviors, provide resources to clients to continue progress out of session, and strategies and coping skills in which client can implement on a daily basis to better their quality of life. It is important to learn and develop the skills that will help us manage different symptoms in difficult situation to overcome obstacles. I understand emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming or even scary, and that experiences from the past can continue to impact how we feel, think, and navigate life in the present.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution- Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, and Anger Management. The importance of understanding your emotions and the reaction of your emotions, its crucial to developing self- awareness of your actions, thoughts, feelings, and thought about self. I like to focus on empowering client on knowing they have control and how to gain control. Mental Health should not limit us from living our day to day life and developing relationships.

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive environment where we focused on building rapport and getting to know each other. I'll ask questions about what brought them to therapy, their current concerns, and some background information to help me understand their experiences. We'll talk about goals for therapy, answer any questions they have, and discuss what they can expect from the process moving forward. It's a collaborative, low-pressure space designed to help clients feel comfortable and understood from the start.
