Are you struggling with setting boundaries with yourself and others? Do you feel like there is a gap between where you currently are and what you want in life? As a Licensed Social Worker, I am committed to helping individuals overcome their mental health challenges and live fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, racial and cultural identity, relationships, stress management, life transitions, setting boundaries, and self-esteem.
Navigating these issues can be overwhelming and daunting, and my goal is to provide you a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Through evidence-based interventions, such as DBT and mindfulness practices, we will develop the necessary skills to manage your symptoms and live a more nourishing life.
It takes a lot of time and energy to find a therapist who fits your needs and understands you. If you are looking for a therapist who is compassionate, empowering, and committed to the promotion of your wellbeing, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
