Life can present us with numerous challenges, and it takes great courage to seek assistance in navigating those difficulties. My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe in creating a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you will feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
My focus is anxiety, abuse, and trauma. Over the past years, I have provided psychotherapy to diverse populations, addressing a wide range of issues. Early in my clinical career, I gained valuable experience working with children and families within their homes and local communities.
I bring a rich background in addressing issues related to people of color, intergenerational trauma, and anxiety. My experience spans various challenging clinical environments, such as forensic mental health and the County mental health systems.
