While trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental struggles may cause us to lose hope, healing is possible. As a person-centered therapist, I believe in empowering my clients on their journey towards healing. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental and inclusive environment where you can feel safe, heard, and supported as we collaborate on your goals. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, the impact of trauma, or sociocultural issues, I am here to help you overcome these obstacles and maintain your overall wellness.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and trained in EMDR. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome the difficulties and negative symptoms caused by trauma and fostering sustainable positive change. I have experience with religious and cultural minorities, understanding the unique challenges and strengths that arise within these contexts.
I recognize the vulnerability that comes with seeking support and value your willingness for considering therapy. When you're ready to take the next step and explore new possibilities, I invite you to get in touch. Your wellbeing matters. Together, we can create positive change and empower you to live a life aligned with your values and aspirations.
