Great to meet you!

If you've faced a traumatic childhood, struggled with boundaries, or felt isolated in relationships, support is here. I focus on supporting empathetic individuals who feel burdened by guilt and self-blame when managing relationship expectations. I'll help navigate past traumas, develop coping strategies, and empower your self-discovery in a nurturing environment. We'll explore emotions, build resilience, enhance self-esteem, and discover joy, empowering your path to fulfillment and healing.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I empower clients to reshape negative thoughts and behaviors, providing effective coping skills for depression, anxiety, and stress. I offer Culturally Sensitive Therapy, tailoring approaches to honor each client's cultural identity, enhancing therapeutic outcomes. With Trauma-Informed Care, I create a safe environment for healing from PTSD and ASD, guiding clients towards empowerment and recovery sensitively and effectively.

What you can expect from our first session

In therapy with me, you can expect a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and openness. I create a supportive environment where you can freely explore your concerns. Together, we'll set clear goals to address challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma or life transitions. Many clients notice improvements in their emotional well-being after about 6-7 sessions. We'll collaborate on implementing strategies and gaining insights that lead to positive changes in your life.
