About me
Life can be challenging and sometimes it can be hard to cope or figure out exactly how to work through those challenges. I understand the struggle and how overwhelming it can sometimes be. We can work together to help you to navigate those challenges and achieve the life you desire. I use a mindfulness-based holistic therapeutic approach focusing on the whole person including body, mind, spirit, and community. My approach to counseling is client focused, culturally sensitive, and integrative.
I work with mood and anxiety disorders, stress and anger management, depression, substance abuse, LGTBQ, thought disorders, justice involved individuals and relationship issues. I work with adults and adolescents and utilize a client-centered approach using Mindfulness-Based interventions as well as CBT and Somatic Therapy.
I build a therapeutic alliance with my clients based on empathy, honesty & warmth. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and encouraged in the therapeutic environment. I meet you where you are and tailor interventions to meet your specific needs. Our work together can help you navigate life’s challenges and live the life you were meant to live.
