Life is messy, complicated and we do not always have the answers to ‘fix’ problems or issues. However, we have the ability to overcome, survive, process and become a better individual, partner and family member. It is the process that enable us to develop the skills, values, and the strength to go on with life. Our stories past, present and future are all relevant to who we are and who we want to become.

I am skilled in utilizing trauma-informed approaches and relational interventions to support clients to heal from past experiences and build healthy connections. Together we can work towards resilience, promoting self-discovery and empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with a sense of confidence and well-being.

The goal is to provide clients with the tools that support their needs to achieve personal growth and cultivate fulfilling relationships. Through active listening we can address your unique needs through varying therapeutic approaches depending on the context of your situation. Safety and respect are the priority as we engage to invite change and develop helpful skills/tools/strategies.

Life is a journey that must be traveled, no matter how bumpy the roads are. We are sometimes so focused on arriving at our destination that we forget to appreciate the ride. On our journey through life, we must equip ourselves with the necessary skills to overcome challenges, thrive, and become better versions of ourselves. These skills help us become better individuals, partners, parents, friends, siblings, and citizens. Our stories and experiences impact us in several ways, including how we think, feel, and act and are all important to who we are and who we become!

I am equipped to help you develop these tools/skills by maintaining open communication, a no judgment zone, and be there to support you on your life journey. My goal is to listen to you and address your specific needs using various therapeutic approaches based on the circumstances of your situation. I use solution-focused, strengths-based, and trauma-informed techniques. Safety and respect are my top priorities as we work to invite change and create useful skills/tools/strategies.

My passion is to support children, teenagers and families, especially those from immigrant households, BIPOC and minority populations. I also offer therapeutic support and counseling to adults. If you want someone to help you with change or personal transformation, please contact me.
