About My Clients

I see adults, adolescents and children for individual therapy as well as couples and family. I have successfully worked with many diverse clients, who presented such issues as depression, anxiety, traumatic stress (including experiences of domestic violence, sexual assault, childhood abuse, medical trauma and single incident trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, difficulty transitioning to parenthood, college or career, spirituality, self-esteem, co-parenting, divorce and stress management.

My Background and Approach

I use a culturally sensitive and strengths-based approach to work through and process unresolved feelings or issues in order to thrive and not just survive. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is especially important for allowing people to realize their capacity for change and I provide a warm, accepting, and welcoming environment to facilitate growth. I am passionate about working collaboratively with my clients to identify their strengths and ways to cope with barriers and triggers through a trauma informed lens and the use of evidence-based practices.
