About My Clients
As a therapist with a deep commitment to working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, I understand the profound impact that abuse and neglect can have on one's ability to express their needs and emotions. Many who have experiences trauma face additional challenges, especially when cultural expectations, societal norms, and personal histories complicate self-expression. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions and begin the healing process.
My Background and Approach
My approach to counseling combines a humanistic, person-centered foundation with cognitive behavioral techniques, addressing the whole person and tailoring interventions to help individuals adapt and thrive in their unique circumstances. I believe that deep down, everyone knows their struggles, and sometimes, all they need is a guiding hand to overcome challenges and become the best version of themselves. This approach is grounded in empathy, cultural respect, and an understanding of how your experiences shape your world view. By integrating culturally competent and trauma-informed care, I am dedicated to helping you rebuild healthier communication patterns, reconnect with your authentic self, and ultimately reclaim your voice and your sense of agency. Making a change in your life can be challenging, especially when you feel like you're navigating it alone. It takes courage to take that first step, and I want to acknowledge the bravery in you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I value every individual's ability to advocate for their needs and wants in a healthy way while feeling respected. This belief of mine stems to a person's entire being whether the focus is on LGBTQ+ identify, racial and cultural beliefs, interpersonal communication, navigating new and old feelings, grief and loss, and anything else that defines you as a person. I have worked with a variety of cultures and identities while being in my group and individual practice that have allowed me the opportunity to expand my open mind to others and allow a safe space to exist for those willing to explore change in a positive and healthy manner.
