My Approach to Therapy
Are you looking to improve your relationship with yourself and grow? Are you looking to have stronger boundaries in your personal and professional life? Have you struggled with processing childhood or recent traumas that have impacted your life, peace, and relationships? Has it been hard to regulate or even acknowledge what youve been through? Have you found yourself avoiding problems, staying busy and using distractions instead of dealing with things? Is anxiety ruling your life? Are you ready to take back control and learn how to live authentically for yourself and values? If any of this rings true, we may be a good fit.
I enjoy working to improve your sense of self, ability to live authentically, and to find your power. With me, you will enjoy a straightforward, interactive, and collaborative approach. You can expect to be held accountable and encouraged to grow in the ways you've identified and to rediscover your worth. You matter and so does your mental health.
I create a space where therapy can be challenging, rewarding, empowering, sometimes fun, and sometimes hard. I enjoy bringing laughter and humor into the therapeutic space and helping you feel seen. If this resonates with you, feel free to check out my website to learn more about what it would be like to work with me and reach out for a free consultation.

My specializations include issues such as; trauma, PTSD, anxiety, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships
Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance
I strongly believe in finding the right fit when looking for a clinician. This is one of the reasons I offer a free 15min phone consultation before booking. It gives you a better sense of who I am, how I communicate, and if we "click" as therapist and client. Your relationship with your therapist is the biggest indicator of positive outcomes in therapy. What this means is that as long as you have a solid connection with your therapist; the interventions, therapeutic approaches, and modalities don't make the biggest difference. So if you find yourself looking for a specific type of therapeutic approach, make sure you're prioritizing your connection with that potential therapist as well.

Groups I Work With
I am a BIPOC identifying therapist and enjoy connecting with other BIPOC individuals in therapy. However, I am open to all ethnicities and do not limit my caseload based on anyone\'s ethnicity. I am an accepting and open minded clinician who enjoys working with people from all walks of life. I believe everyone has the right to engage in therapy and not feel judged or misunderstood.
