About My Clients

At Couch Conversations, I prioritize your unique narrative. I invite you to share your story in your authentic voice, on your own terms. This is a space where you are empowered to fully embrace and own your identity. My aim is to provide a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. By writing your own story, you are taking control of your narrative and shaping your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.

My Background and Approach

I aim for my work as a therapist to be living proof of the benefits and enrichment that therapy can be for one’s overall mental health. I offer high quality, comprehensive, and individualized mental health services. My approach is holistic, focusing on providing therapy that considers the biological, psychological, environmental, economical and socio-cultural aspects of my clients' lives and integrates each client's distinct life tapestries ( i.e., memories, experiences and traits) that shape who you are. During the therapeutic journey, I combine practical tools with insight building strategies and client feedback to collaborate with clients and tailor the therapy experience to meet the clients where they are and foster and individualized journey to personal, growth, healing and restoration. My therapeutic style consists of a blend of ingredients that are direct, collaborative, relaxed, relatable and compassionate, peppered with a dose of humor.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. Several years ago, I sustained a traumatic brain injury that rendered me with multiple acquired invisible disabilities. My own experience with therapy to helped me adjust to the new normal and during my experience I discovered new facets of myself that enriched my life's tapestry and gave me the fortitude to push forward and finish graduate school, becoke a therapist and pay forward to my therapy clients, the healing and restoration that I received in therapy. Also, I have a deeply vested interest in encouraging more BIPOC clients to seek therapy and to view therapy as a safe and empowering space where they are heard, valued and don't have to wear any masks that supress the expression and celebration of our uniqueness and authenticity.
