Oftentimes, people go through phases in life of feeling overwhelmed, stuck or hopeless. You are not alone. Counseling can offer you the tools to live the life you desire. My approach to therapy is rooted in helping you increase self-awareness by working collaboratively to unpack and unblock the barriers preventing you from living in wholeness. I offer support, encouragement and empowerment in a warm, non-judgmental environment conducive to growth and change. I place great value on providing culturally sensitive treatment, and I think of health in a broad, holistic manner under which mental health is subsumed. I believe that the communication between your mental, emotional, and behavioral functioning can be utilized to enhance your overall wellbeing; I aim to foster that connection. I specialize in trauma/trauma recovery, interpersonal violence, anxiety management, identity development, cultural diversity, life transitions, relationship concerns, familial concerns, depression, and long-standing psychological issues. I have a special interest in working with college students and young professionals. I use DBT, CBT, and mindfulness.
