Pregnancy and motherhood, life transitions, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identity, career stress, relationships issues, trauma, self worth, worry and overwhelm and concentration issues are my areas of clinical expertise. I use Trauma Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to decrease and manage the frequency, duration and intensity of their symptoms. I'll incorporate your values, identities, faith and cultural practices and belief systems. We will identify symptoms and implement long-term coping strategies that are practical for your personality and lifestyle.
Your individual therapy with me, will be a process that uses culturally competent and evidence-based psychotherapies and strategies to facilitate behavior change, conflict resolution, assertiveness, boundary setting, trigger identification, appropriate self-soothing, effective cognitive processing and emotion regulation.
I believe that people can either overcome their circumstance or build emotional resilience to live with the longterm impact of their experiences. I instill hope and guide you to think of and treat yourself (and others) with compassion.
