I utilize Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. With my clients I also use a strength-based and culturally humble approach. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment where you can identify your emotions, and process, and verbalize your needs while learning and implementing effective coping techniques in a culturally humble environment.

Get to Know Me

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I became a mental health provider because I want to help others to see their true potential and live a life of quality.

What book have you read more than once?

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I have not read any book twice because there are too many books to get through. I keep a journal with my favorite and inspiring quotes from various books I have read.

How do you recharge?

It is important that we all practice self-care and take time to recharge. I enjoy hot yoga which allows me to relax and refuel daily.
