About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, caught in the same arguments over and over? Do you wonder if things can ever change or feel hopeless about the future of your relationship? Navigating relationships—whether with a partner, family, or yourself—can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. I specialize in relationship issues, family conflicts, relational trauma, helping clients heal, grow, and build healthier connections.

My Background and Approach

As a culturally responsive therapist, with nearly fifteen years of professional experience, my approach is characterized by warmth, authenticity, and empathy. I draw heavily from attachment theory and family systems theory to inform my practice, integrating evidence-based psychotherapy methods and psychoeducation into sessions. With trainings in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Gottman Method Couple Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. As a Brainspotting practitioner, I incorporate this powerful trauma-focused approach to help clients process unresolved emotional pain. Beyond therapy, I also offer clinical supervision for pre-licensed clinicians, supporting their professional growth and development.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I welcome individuals and couples from all culturally diverse backgrounds, embracing differences in race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and identity. My approach is inclusive, culturally responsive, and tailored to the needs of each client, ensuring that therapy is a place of true acceptance, growth, and healing.
