Pre-Licensed Professional
Accepting clients Last Updated 27 days ago

As a dedicated mental health professional with a rich, multicultural background, I offer comprehensive support for a wide spectrum of psychological concerns. My practice is built on a foundation of inclusivity, empathy, and evidence-based techniques, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I am committed to being your compassionate guide on a transformative journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and profound healing. My primary focus is centered on creating a sanctuary—a safe, nurturing space where you can courageously explore your challenges, cultivate resilience, and embrace your authentic wholeness.

Drawing from various therapeutic modalities—including DBT, CBT, psychodynamic, and holistic approaches—I craft a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. This integrative method ensures that our work together is not only deeply meaningful but also highly effective in creating lasting positive change.

Embark on this journey of self-discovery with a trusted ally by your side. Together, we'll unlock your potential, nurture your growth, and help you step into the fullness of who you're meant to be.
