I draw upon modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based approaches, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic therapy, Relational therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, and Trauma-Focused techniques.
My focus
I work with individuals and minors aged 13-17. My areas of focus include anxiety, coping skills, cultural stress, depression, interpersonal/family conflict, grief, job stress, life transitions, men's issues, parenting, school issues, self-esteem, spirituality, and stress management.
My communication style
I am passionate about building positive and authentic connections that lead to trust, growth, and healing. My communication style aims to create a safe and secure relationship where clients can fully express and explore their feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was drawn to the mental healthcare field by my faith, and a deep desire to help people navigate life's challenges and fully realize their potential. My background in counseling and experience working with diverse populations has equipped me with the skills and empathy to provide culturally sensitive care.
My goals for you
Ultimately, my objective is to empower you with greater self-understanding, emotional regulation skills, and practical strategies to overcome obstacles and lead a more fulfilling life. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel supported in your journey of personal growth and transformation.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to define your treatment goals. I will take time to understand your unique story, strengths, and areas where you would like support. From there, we will embark on a therapeutic process tailored to your specific needs and objectives. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and tools to facilitate meaningful, lasting change.
