I personally know how difficult it can be to seek out support regarding your mental health, so I applaud you for taking this first step towards your healing. We are strongly influenced by our family, environment, culture, and experiences. I approach therapy and assessment from an integrative perspective, grounded within a psychodynamic & multicultural framework. What this means, simply, is that I understand the importance that the past plays on our present, and how it can impact our future if we don’t heal from it. I naturally exude genuine compassion, authenticity, and empathy for my clients. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the center of all transformative treatment. I respect the diversity that exists among us all and I tailor therapy to fit each individual. One of my top priorities is ensuring that I provide culturally sensitive treatment within a safe environment. From the moment you walk into my office, I want to ensure you that you have entered a safe space–a space in which you can be free to be yourself, fully and unapologetically. I will work to empower and support you, while providing you a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental place to explore, process, learn, and heal.
