My therapy style is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief, and chronic illness adjustment. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing with trauma-informed approaches, and my healthcare background supports holistic, interdisciplinary care. I emphasize therapeutic alliance, client empowerment, and evidence-based practice while adapting to each client’s unique cultural background and individual needs.
