I am passionate about providing mental health support to Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ communities, regardless of immigration status. My goal is to contribute to the healing process of individuals holding marginalized identities. I am not in search of 'ideal clients', just individuals looking to integrate practical skills, effect change, improve quality of life, and perhaps heal wounds inherited through generational trauma.

My ideal client is someone who is seeking a safe and nurturing environment to grow and heal. They may feel isolated and alone, struggling with life's challenges and looking for a compassionate guide to support them on their journey. This individual is ready to explore their thoughts and emotions, even if it feels daunting, and is open to discovering their inner strengths.

My approach to therapy is based on the following: 1. The capacity for growth and healing is innate and hardwired. 2. All behavior serves a purpose. As a result of some life experiences, we may resort to what become maladaptive strategies to try to manage our pain. 3. Maladaptive coping patterns can be changed. 4. Change is scary and uncomfortable, but people are resilient.

I have had a variety of experiences working with people who have had different types of problems. I have worked with individuals having problems ranging from anxiety, depression, anger management, chronic habitual problems, compulsivity, bipolar, sexual addiction, sexual offending/deviant behaviors, and psychotic issues. The value of therapy is that clients can come in with issues and with work receive some results in the form of change. It is my job to help facilitate that process. I believe in helping people work out their problems and provide them with the skill sets to help them accomplish their goals.

Sometimes bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us. I believe that coming to therapy is a huge step towards a path of enlightenment and empowerment.

My personal approach to therapy and assessment utilizes a compassionate, non-judgmental, encouraging style. I work with clients to clarify their values, goals, and the meanings they create in their lives with a focus on how they address the five tasks of life: love, work, friendship, self-care, and spirituality. Treatment planning consists of developing strategies and skills to master these life tasks. Assessment includes Fitness, Sanity, and Mitigation Evaluations, Damages Assessment, USCIS N-648 evaluations and more.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I view my role as guiding individuals along a journey of self-discovery and growth. I assist people in gaining insight into their issues and finding solutions to their problems by providing direction, encouragement, support, and hope. In order for positive changes to occur, a person must begin to modify his or her dysfunctional thinking patterns and unhealthy behaviors. From a solution focused approach, I work with my clients in a collaborative relationship to strengthen their sense of self and improve their quality of life.
