As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I help individuals navigate the challenges of trauma, identity, and self-worth with compassion and authenticity. My approach is grounded in both evidence-based practices and holistic perspectives, drawing inspiration from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment theory. I believe that there are no “bad parts,” only parts of us that are seeking to be understood, healed, and balanced.
I work with high-achieving professionals who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of childhood trauma. Many are adult children of emotionally immature or abusive parents and may have histories of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. In therapy, we focus on understanding how early attachment experiences shaped current patterns and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others that support greater emotional security, authenticity, and lasting change. I also have expertise working with clients with
-Identity formulation
-Attachment issues
-Men’s issues
-Communication challenges
-Anxiety
-Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
-Trauma
-Depression
-ADHD
-Anger management
I will work with you collaboratively to build understanding of your body’s messages by integrating mindfulness and embracing congruence between inner experience and outer expression. My practice is influenced by elements of Eastern philosophy, mindfulness, multicultural sensitivity and intersectionality. I also collaborate with clients using coaching and gamification strategies to help strengthen executive functioning, motivation, life skills, and goal setting.
