Great to meet you!

Thinking about your journey in life in terms of how you decided that you were going to do some self-reflecting and self-care required you to be open and honest, which is an important step and takes courage. I have been working with individuals in depth who are experiencing depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and patterns of family dysfunction. Using a strength perspective model and client/therapist collaborative approach, sessions are geared towards individuals’ goals regarding specific mental health needs.

My approach to therapy

“Fostering an environment that is supportive, nurturing, and honest is the intention for each session. Sharing thoughts and feelings is welcome and valuable. I practice empathic listening while giving you an opportunity to express and explore your strengths.

What you can expect from me

Are you finding yourself struggling with some emotions and feelings that you feel you can’t manage? I have been working with young and older adults who needed support in dealing with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, and trauma. Through planning, we will develop goals that will foster an opportunity for growth and overall well-being.
