About My Clients

Are you down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Are you struggling with Infertility or relationship issues? Maybe you are a new parent and you are struggling with the changes in your life, or your professional life is very stressful. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support and your emotional well being is the top priority. The best time for a new beginning is now.

My Background and Approach

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in our sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. Each session is a judgement free zone, where we use various approaches such as Mindfulness Based-Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy... I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy, focusing on your individual needs and goals. I aim to inspire hope in you and empower you to create change by adopting healthier responses and coping skills.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Micro aggressions and discrimination are so prevalent in society today that they have played a role in the stigma that surround mental health in the BIPOC community. Women do not have to endure and accept everything just so that they can be called "strong"; I would like to change the narrative of "strong women" as women who actually take care of their mental health, who create healthy boundaries, and who are allowed to be vulnerable; instead of women who keep it all in, keep on pushing and suffer in silence.
