Great to meet you!

As a licensed psychotherapist with over ten years of experience in many settings ranging from community mental health agencies, non profits, private practice, the school system and teletherapy work I have had the privilege of working with people from many walks of life. I have been lucky enough to bare witness to just how strong, resilient and capable most humans can be when they have the right supports.

I know just how hard taking the first step or deciding to give therapy another chance can be and I welcome you.

My approach to therapy

In my virtual mental health practice I specialize in Mood Disorders, Maternal Mental health, Bipolar Disorders, Immigrant and First Generation experiences, OCD, Bi-Cultural and Multi-Cultural coupling and families. I offer a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I encourage clients to speak openly and share what feels right.

If you’re hoping to find a healing space where you can be honest, be yourself, explore parts of yourself and life story give me a call. My education, clinical experience and expertise are only a piece of what leads my work. I incorporate humor, art creation, journaling, ancestral and cultural knowledge, evidence and experienced based practices.

What you can expect from me

Typically in our first session together we'll explore what brought you to therapy, and I will conduct an initial assessment. My approach is psychodynamic meaning in our sessions we will explore your history and how past events or experiences could be impacting your current state. We will explore your current coping patterns and together work to establish healthier coping techniques.
