I emphasize the examination of feelings and thoughts by addressing stuck patterns and engaging in collaborative exploration with clients to facilitate behavioral changes. Additionally, I believe in the individual's capacity for change and trust that they possess answers within themselves. My approach is culturally sensitive, recognizing and acknowledging the cultural background of my clients. This inclusivity guides me in adopting strategies that are both sensitive and effective in meeting the unique needs of each individual.

When people are challenged with changes that affect the ability to manage stressors, there comes a time for positive change and support. I am passionate about focusing on the healing process, whether it involves the challenges of exploring maladaptive behaviors or the triggers of trauma. I help my clients, who include children, adults, and families to find healthy coping mechanisms and self-autonomy which will lead to positive perceptions. This, in turn, creates personal identification and self-worth, thus creating healthy relationships.

Making the decision to seek mental health therapy is not easy. I am glad that you made the first step and are here! It has been my experience that clients know themselves better than anyone, they are their own best resource when it comes to engaging in treatment. I see therapy as a joint process in which the client’s own knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. I believe that our wellness comes not just from physical health, but from spiritual health and mental health. It's important for me to help clients make that connection in their healing journey and learn new skills that will help create healthy relationships.
