“My approach to therapy is about empowering you to create the positive changes you seek in your life. I strive to work from a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach that respects your unique experiences and perspectives on life. Together, we’ll collaborate to explore new possibilities and overcome obstacles, in a way that challenges you, while still meeting you where you are. My goal is to help you not only find relief but also highlight your strengths, values, and instill a renewed confidence and deeper understanding that yours is a life worth living.”
