- LCSW
I specialized in mood challenges (depression, anxiety, fears, anger), post- traumatic stress/abuse, substance use dependence, defining life goals, and social issues. In life we all encounter challenges and stress. I am here to help create a warm and collaborative therapeutic environment to work together on goals. I offer a non-pathologizing and empowering understanding of human issues to make the changes you wish to manifest in life.
Like most therapist, I borrow from many sources that collectively make up my style. I feel honored to be chosen for this intimate work. Please know that I will guard your privacy and our session will be a safe place to land your truths. As a bilingual/bicultural therapist, I can relate to ethnic and racial.
