Great to meet you!

Hey, I am so excited that your journey has led you here! I am a practitioner, with over 10 years of experience, looking to work with individuals who are in search of insight, awareness and motivation. Investing in your mental health, should be a collaborative process.

My approach to therapy

I invite the opportunity to foster an environment that allows me to meet you where you are at, with the purpose of sustaining a healthy and authentic quality of life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), who utilizes a relational approach, along with a wide range of evidence based research interventions such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. All while sustaining a culturally sensitive lens.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about starting to build and foster the therapeutic alliance. I see it as an opportunity to share about my experience and approach, while inviting you to share what motivates to engage in this journey.
