It is my goal to help, heal and empower clients through the challenges and uncertainties of life within a safe empathetic, culturally responsive, open, therapeutic alliance. My tailored approach is premised on making clients feel comfortable, validated, and understood and to help make sense of and resolve the anxieties and issues clients face so they can achieve their goals and live a peaceful and content life. My specialties include Anxiety, Depression, Self Esteem, Stress Management, Life Coaching, Mindfulness-Based Techniques, Health and Wellness, Couples, Separation/Divorce, Trauma, Eating Issues & Emotional Empowerment.
My holistic, mindfulness-based approach to mental health looks at how an individual’s overall life impacts their psychological, physical, spiritual, and emotional well- being.I specialize in deconstructing and dismantling sociocultural pressures, childhood and family issues, and trauma that can manifest into poor self-worth, self-esteem, depression & anxiety
I am passionate about mental health, physical health, disease prevention, healing, and emotional empowerment. Life by its very nature is uncertain and comes with challenges, life transitions, grief, unexpected loss, illness, and change, and I am here to support and help make sense and help resolve the anxieties and issues that come along with it.
