First, let me say thank you for considering me to walk this journey with you. I know that therapy isn’t easy and healing isn’t linear. I want you to know how brave you are for taking the first step to finding a therapist—I know it wasn’t easy. I believe that allowing clients the space to be heard, valued, understood, safe and authentic is key to fostering trust within the therapeutic relationship and ultimately facilitating change. You are the expert of your own life and I’m simply here to help you navigate the challenges and roadblocks, and ultimately help you overcome those mountains that seem impossible to climb.
My approach to therapy varies by person. I consider myself an eclectic and integrative therapist. This means I don’t ascribe to one modality, and have chosen to use various modalities and approaches to ensure the needs of all my clients are met. Some of the modalities I use are Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples, working with body image concerns, sexual anxiety, depression and generalized anxiety, working with the LGBTQIA+ population, as well as black and brown individuals who are struggling with breaking the stigma associated with mental health.
I know this journey isn’t easy, however I’m so thankful that you’re taking the first steps to taking back your power and what’s rightfully yours. I hope that you’ll allow me to walk this journey of rediscovering your peace, joy, happiness and increased quality of life with you.
