My approach tends to be cognitive behavioral in nature and I use distress tolerance techniques (DBT). I like to tailor my approach to an individual’s goals & particular needs. What that means is that I like to collaborate with a client to find active steps to take to better one’s quality of life. It is solution-focused, and brief in nature. I believe that self-care and mindfulness are essential tools for quality of life, yet we aren’t always taught how to do that for ourselves. My clients say that I am direct, yet compassionate, and that they feel validated & empowered to make changes in their lives.
I have experience working with children, individuals, couples and families in a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, parenting challenges, work stress, family and relationship issues and various life changes since 1997. I identify as Afro-Latina and I like to work with clients from different ethnic backgrounds and cultures.
I provide a complimentary phone consultation before setting up an initial session. Choosing the right fit for a therapist can be difficult. It is important that you feel comfortable, safe and supported. I intend to provide a calm, empathetic and safe environment to support you in your healing journey.
