About My Clients

My main goal as a therapist is to empower each client by working collaboratively to understand their past and rewrite their narrative to create new patterns of behavior that are in line with the client's needs. Working with all age groups, I take on an integrative approach to therapy which incorporates a multicultural outlook along with a variety of evidenced-based practices. It is imperative to the therapeutic process that you as the client feel heard, validated, and seen in a novel way.

My Background and Approach

My approach to counseling involves guiding clients through their past to help understand the "why" behind current thought patterns and behaviors. Gaining insight is a tool that is so important for clients to learn about in order to feel empowered to take control over whatever struggle is in front of you. Understanding your narrative based on your past can help you redefine the next chapter of your life in a way that feels conducive to what your overall goals are. I have had exposure to many mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, crisis, relational issues, gender issues, and much more. My overall approach also incorporates learning about how your brain and body are connected, and how they may manifest during times of struggle. With all of this in mind, it is important to recognize that I go where the client takes me. It is all about where YOU specifically are in the process. I also provide these approaches to couples, as this is a population I am passionate about.
