My goal is to support you and empower you as the expert in your life! My approach is to work with you as a partnership to achieve the goals identified in your individualized treatment plan by identifying your strengths and helping you re-frame challenges as opportunities for growth. As a first-generation BIPOC woman, I can relate and empathize with the societal challenges being of a minority descent can bring. I will provide you with extensive support and tools to navigate through these challenges, honor your experiences and empower you to be the best version of yourself!
My approach
Psychotherapy is a partnership between the client and the therapist. My practice provides person-centered care with eclectic interventions. The modalities are catered to treating the specific needs of the client. Some examples of therapeutic interventions used are motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy.
My focus
My ideal client is open-minded and is willing to trust the process to reach their established goals. I feel it is critical for the therapist to take into account a person's cultural background, including their socioeconomic status, spirituality, etc., and it's influence on the therapeutic experience.
My communication style
I like to use motivational interviewing techniques to foster a positive and future-oriented environment. I think it is extremely important to listen, paraphrase the client's statements and provide feedback. I want my client to be confident that I am engaged and invested in helping provide them with the tools to reach their therapeutic goals.
