About My Clients

Are you struggling to manage the many roles, responsibilities, and challenges that life has thrown your way? Do you have a tendency to over-commit? Do you have difficulty saying no? Do you feel that the load is too heavy to carry? Are you overly critical of yourself? Do you feel the need to control EVERY part of your environment? Are you experiencing anxiety and depression as a result? If you said yes, help is here! I can help you develop strategies to tackle these challenges and feel better.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and other therapeutic modalities that cater to a variety of life challenges. I am culturally competent and have over 12 years of experience working with a variety of clients from children to the elderly. If you are tired of feeling stuck in a rut, I can help you. People have gone for years without seeking help due to the negative stigma associated with counseling/therapy. I am aware and sensitive to the attitudes and influences our cultures play in our lives. I feel confident that I can help erase feelings of apprehension about seeking help. Give it a try!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My belief is that EVERYONE needs a bit of therapy at some point in their lives. Therapy should be universal, available, and acceptable by all! I know the struggles with generational/cultural attitudes towards seeking help. I am here to help you see how easy, non-sterile, and comfortable therapy can be. My goal is to make therapy an experience in restoration, breakthrough, healing, and hope so that you can share the gift of wholeness with yourself and those around you.
