I have a passion to serve and a desire to help others feel more empowered. Therapy with me is about strong rapport, enhancing your understanding of yourself, highlighting your strengths, and actively working towards the goals that you desire for a better quality of life. I will help you with positive coping strategies and engage in problem solving. I have experience with birth to five, children, youth, and families. I have treated clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment concerns, grief and loss, and relation difficulties. I am available on weekends and evenings.
I utilize various approaches such as systems based, CBT, strength-based, and attachment. I am trained in providing services for birth to five clients as well as for their families. I am trained in evidence-based practices such as Second Step (social-emotional curriculum) and FOCUS (Families overcoming Under stress).
It is important to me to build a strong rapport. My goal is to empower others to understand themselves deeply & help them navigate through their various challenges. I hope to continue to advocate for the BIPOC community & help others have access to mental health. I understand that therapy is a big step and I thank you for trusting me in this process.
