Finding a counselor who understands your life experience is vital to your healing process. I work with clients using a goal-focused, person-centered approach, recognizing that your uniqueness is a core strength. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and provide practical, evidence-based tools while honoring that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we implement interventions that respect your experiences, cultural values, and worldview. I provide holistic care, believing true healing begins by acknowledging the whole person.
