Have you experienced something painful, changing how you view yourself or those around you? Do the day-to-day pressures feel too much to handle? Are you constantly feeling on edge? Or do you feel shame because you think you should be coping better? You're not alone! Imagine feeling joy, peace, and a sense of purpose again. It can be scary, but you can find your inner strength and resilience. You have the power to create a life of purpose. My approach is rooted in mutual trust, respect, and cultural humility. I use a person-centered, eclectic, and trauma-informed framework, tailoring my approach to fit each client's unique needs.
I believe that we are strong alone but stronger together. Let's weather the storm together. I provide a non-judgemental and safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. I assist individuals and families with diverse concerns: PTSD/trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship stress, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ trauma, and life transitions.
I'm here to be a calming center for you to feel comfortable breaking down barriers and processing growth. Are you seeking affordable therapy rates and an open-minded, inclusive counselor who wants to help you address your deepest concerns? Let's meet! A free 15-minute phone consultation is available for any questions before starting your therapy journey.
