As a mother of two boys, and being married, I know life can be challenging, whether it is relationship challenges, motherhood, perinatal, marital, workplace, social challenges, etc., I am here to help my clients heal and grow. I consider my therapeutic approach to be personable and genuine. Therapy isn’t always easy which is why I emphasize that therapy is a team approach, starting where you are and we work together to make positive changes. I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that fostering a welcoming, safe, and secure therapeutic relationship is important. I want my clients to feel heard, seen, and understood. We all have different personal needs and I also find it important to integrate them in therapy. I practice different modalities such as person-centered, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-focused, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic, all while practicing culturally sensitive care.

I enjoy spending quality family time with my two young boys and husband, whether that is going for a walk, playing ball, exploring something new, or going to the beach or arcades. I also enjoy taking on DIY projects and doing hands-on activities such as gardening, making home improvements, or painting and coloring. I also incorporate alone time while doing self-care activities that I enjoy.
