Working with a diverse population, I have fostered therapeutic relationships with my clients through a client-centered approach, empathic listening, and providing a compassionate safe space to process unresolved trauma. I believe in empowering my clients to discover their strengths by mirroring unconditional positive regard, allowing them to explore their vulnerability and better understand themselves.
My approach
My approach to therapy involves utilizing a client-centered lens, empathic listening, and providing a safe, compassionate space for processing trauma. I draw from various modalities including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, gestalt therapy, guided imagery, mindfulness, art therapy, and inner-child therapy stemming from EFT and IFS. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs.
My focus
I work with individuals and families over the age of 24 on a wide range of issues including grief, depression, anxiety, loss, shame, self-esteem, complex PTSD, childhood trauma, stress management, emotional dysregulation, self-empowerment, abandonment issues, and relationship struggles. My specialties also include aging, anger management, behavioral issues, codependency, cultural stress, divorce, infidelity, life transitions, parenting, racial identity and trauma, relapse prevention, spirituality, and marital/pre-marital concerns.
My communication style
I aim to help clients access new perspectives that can improve their self-perception and belief in their potential to achieve future goals. Through mirroring unconditional positive regard, I create a space for clients to be vulnerable, discover their inner strengths, and better understand themselves.
My goals for you
