We face many challenges and stages in life’s journey and navigating through its different phases can sometimes be a difficult process. I focuse on supporting clients through this difficult process and collaborating with a strong therapeutic relationship. The beauty of therapy is that it will look different for each person and will be tailored to specific needs. I also specialize in facilitating sustainable empowerment and personal growth for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community.
I am also building interest in working with couples who are experiencing disruption in their relationship. I utilize Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to provide structure, space, empathy, warmth, and compassion. I am focused on helping couples increase awareness, intimacy, acceptance, regulation, respect, effective communication, and connection
My therapeutic approaches are centered around Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, and trauma-informed care.
