Life can be stressful. At times it may feel that every day is challenging, overwhelming, tiring, and we may feel stuck and alone. It's important to find a place where we feel safe, listened to, understood, and where we feel comfortable expressing our perspectives — a brave space. I believe therapy is done collaboratively and together we can create an environment where we can work on goals, explore values and work through challenges for personal growth.
I pride myself in using evidenced-based practices. I use a multicultural lens, along with psychodynamic and person-centered theories to create an environment focused on empathy, genuineness, and to gain insight on behavior. My ten years of experience in the mental health field has given me the privilege to work with and within diverse communities.
Thank you for reading through my profile and for your consideration. I understand it can be hard to reach out and the process of finding a therapist can be stressful. If you feel I may be a good fit, please reach out and let me know your concerns. Together we can work to best meet your needs. Feel free to call or email, what feels more comfortable for you.
