I am client centered and will initially work to build rapport, so you develop trust in the therapy process. My style of therapy is always based on the unique needs of the client and is often an eclectic style that can include elements of Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Mindfulness therapy.

You don't have to carry this alone. Maybe you've spent years doubting yourself, questioning your reality, or being made to feel "too sensitive" or "too much." You've been gaslit, emotionally hurt, or worn down by racism, discrimination, and systems that were never built to support you. You're tired, but you're also resilient and you're ready to heal. In our work together, I create a safe, affirming space where your experiences are seen, your truth is honored, and your healing is possible. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply trauma-informed. I'm devoted to creating a space that feels emotionally safe, nonjudgmental, and empowering a place where you don't have to shrink or explain away your pain. I draw from a range of modalities tailored to your unique needs to help you process and release the emotional wounds of trauma, emotional abuse, and systemic harm. Healing isn't about "fixing" yourself it's about reconnecting with your strength, your voice, and your truth. I walk alongside you in that process with empathy, consistency, and care.

Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
