My approach to counseling is to collaborate with individuals, couples and families to promote authentic expression of self as a way to foster personal growth and overall wellness. I believe in holistic healing that takes into consideration the whole person - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. By gaining greater self-awareness of our psychological, social, and physiological beings, we then gain access to creating lasting change.

Whether you're looking to explore complex, deep-seated issues or need a supportive person and space in your life, I provide a safe, accepting, non-judgmental space for you to get the help you need. Processing painful experiences and emotions can be challenging, though I am committed to working collaboratively and supporting clients in creating healthier and generating more rewarding and fulfilling relationships.

As a counselor, I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings, gain greater insight and feel empowered to establish healthy patterns of behavior. Over the course of working together, I will also incorporate mindfulness techniques to engage the mind-body and actively build a resilience to emotional distress.

Starting a therapeutic relationship, like any new relationship--can be challenging. When working together, I would prioritize building a genuine, healthy working relationship where you can feel comfortable being authentically open and vulnerable. It is a privilege to be included in your life and personal growth. For that reason, I strive to provide culturally competent care and honor your unique background, identity and culture.
