I understand that each person’s journey is unique and I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where clients feel seen and heard. I work through a client-centered approach, I utilize a trauma-informed lens and integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide clients in their healing process. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating life transitions, I am here to offer support and tools for growth and healing.
