Providing culturally competent and client centered therapy is an important part of my job which is to help you feel safe and heard. I specialize in working with clients who want to understand the emotions and behaviors that impact their daily lives.
I focus on helping adults struggling with substance abuse, relationship problems, trauma, mental helath issues, LGBTQ+ and cultural issues . Providing a safe, stress-free, accepting environment, I will help guide you toward relief and success in your daily life and I have experience working with culturally diverse popultions
I use humor and lightheartedness to help create a warm and welcoming environment in session. I pride myself in counseling the whole person instead of narrowly treating issues. Whatever issues or symptoms are presented, they are connected in meaningful ways to the individual. Greater self awareness leads to more effective self-regulation of moods and behavior
