Introduction

I am a culturally responsive therapist that aims to empower clients to gain or regain control of their lives. I work with clients through various stages of life including childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. I have extensive experience with adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression and school issues. I draw from multiple psychological theories and therapeutic modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, etc. and individualize plans to meet the needs of each client. Most importantly, I believe it is essential to provide a safe space for clients to be heard, understood and validated. Together, we will build on your strengths and establish useful tools for the next stage on your journey.
