I have extensive experience working with people of all ages and walks of life. I am open minded and inclusive. I believe that everyone is capable of overcoming the obstacles that stand in the way of realizing their dreams. No one is beyond help. We all deserve to be loved and validated exactly as we are. We can accomplish this by looking inward, fostering self-love and self-validation. This way we are able meet our own emotional needs and free ourselves from the toxic influences in our lives.
I provide a safe and empathic environment, with a focus on the therapeutic relationship. My approach is culturally sensitive and holistic, utilizing an eclectic mix of evidence based practices including: CBT, Mindfulness, Family Systems, Dynamic and Feminist theories. Good therapy is not one-size fits all so I tailor my approach to each unique individual.
Struggle is a universal part of the human experience. It is when we are able to utilize our pain to foster resilience and growth that we become the most authentic version of ourselves. We all have the ability to find happiness and fulfillment in our lives. It takes courage to look inward and it is my privilege to join with you in your journey to healing.
