My approach to therapy
I utilize psychotherapy (or most commonly known as "talk therapy"), mindfulness practices, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I will help empower you so you can feel more present and tackle your challenges.
What you can expect from me
I will provide a culturally sensitive and safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. My goal is to guide you in your journey of healing and self discovery. Change takes time, and it takes a lot of patience and grace. I will encourage you to be kind to yourself as you take on each challenge and reach your desired goals!
