Great to meet you!

I have had the privilege of experiencing life in Africa, Brazil, and France, exposing me to diverse cultures, religions, & languages. This exposure sparked a deep fascination with observing human behavior and cultural impacts. Seeking to understand more about these impacts, I pursued a bachelor's degree in sociology & anthropology and eventually a Master of Science degree with dual specializations in clinical mental health counseling and marriage, couple, and family counseling and therapy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I employ a diverse and client-centered approach to therapy that recognizes the uniqueness of each individual. I work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective, integrating elements from solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, CBT, and positive psychology. By continually seeking further training and education, I aim to provide my clients with the highest level of care and support.

What you can expect from our first session

Our collaboration aims to provide you with the essential resources to confront and conquer your obstacles. Recognizing that each person is unique, I customize our sessions to target the specific challenges you face. By delving into the underlying causes of your difficulties, we will develop enduring strategies that enable you to move closer to achieving your desired lifestyle. Remember, you do not have to navigate this journey alone.
