Summary
With over 3 years of experience in clinical practice, I have had the privilege of supporting clients from diverse backgrounds in navigating a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and relationship issues. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, allowing for meaningful insights and positive change. Specializing in Trauma and PTSD, Women's Issues and Life Transitions, I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Whether utilizing cognitive-behavioral techniques, DBT, or mindfulness practices, I am dedicated to empowering clients with the tools and strategies they need to thrive. Beyond my clinical practice, I am deeply committed to advocating for mental health awareness and destigmatizing conversations surrounding mental illness. I actively engage in professional development and stay informed about the latest research and best practices in the field to ensure the highest quality of care for my clients.
