I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in children and adolescents with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. I have years of experience helping adolescents and their families in crisis. My other areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, self-harm, cultural issues, domestic violence and trauma.
I view others through a multicultural lens and will examine the various factors of a person's life and health that may be impacting their mental health. My approach in session is a systems and relational approach. I will often use tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive psychology. I believe awareness in identifying patterns of behavior is the first step towards change. I am always learning and growing my resources to better serve my clients.
In our sessions together, we will collaborate in order to establish goals to work towards over the course of treatment. My goal is to help guide you in the direction you want to be in. I believe that a therapist can encourage you to recognize your strengths so that you can use them to help you grow.
