My primary focus is empowering individuals to make the changes they want to see in their lives by leveraging their strengths and resilience. Therapy is meant to be a collaboration between therapist and client which means both parties have an active role in identifying what is not working and making changes. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), specifically clients age 18+. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing life and career transitions as well as mild to moderate mental health concerns.
My overall approach to therapy is integrative, which allows me to tailor the therapeutic experience for each of my clients based on your individual needs. One of the biggest misconceptions about therapy is that someone must be in crisis to need it. I believe one should seek therapy as a means of sustaining healthy mental wellness to avoid a crisis.
Entering therapy is a big decision. Clients share a vulnerable and personal part of themselves, which is a sign of their personal strength. Picking the right professional to assist with guiding them toward self-actualization is another. My goal is to help you achieve yours.
