I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, supporting youth and young adults. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR. I believe in a client-centered, strength-based approach, collaborating closely with each individual to achieve their therapeutic goals.
In our sessions, I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges and strengths. Together, we’ll develop personalized treatment plans that integrate your cultural background and personal beliefs. I use tools like music and media to connect and engage meaningfully. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, or life trans.
Expect a supportive environment where your voice is heard and your goals are prioritized. We’ll review progress regularly, adjusting our approach as needed to ensure we’re on track with your aspirations.
