My Approach to Helping
I am a dedicated and empathetic counselor committed to providing personalized, strengths-based, and person-centered care to individuals aged 14 and older. With over five years of experience in mental health environments, I am passionate about empowering clients on their unique journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
I believe in the inherent strength and resilience of every individual. My approach is collaborative and tailored to meet the distinct needs of each client. I utilize a range of evidence-based modalities—including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), as well as EMDR and CPT techniques—to help address challenges such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Additionally, I incorporate assertiveness and communication skills training to support the development of practical, everyday coping strategies.
I am deeply committed to working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating women’s issues. I understand how experiences of oppression and the politics surrounding identity can contribute to feelings of rejection, hopelessness, and depression. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your strengths, confront challenges, and rebuild self-esteem—especially if you have experienced the effects of dysfunctional environments or other adversities.
I offer a genuine, warm, and empathic approach to therapy, aiming to provide stability, understanding, and positive regard throughout your journey. My practice is open for sessions Monday through Thursday, between 11 AM and 6 PM, and I offer both in-person and virtual appointments to accommodate your needs.
Together, we can work towards a future where you feel empowered, understood, and ready to embrace your full potential.
