I am committed to utilizing an empowering, collaborative, and constructive approach to support you in achieving your potential and living a more fulfilling life. In my clinical practice, I adopt a comprehensive approach by integrating various psychotherapeutic methods as my primary focus. Pharmacotherapy will be provided as warranted. This allows me to tailor treatments to the specific needs of each patient, with a keen awareness of the complexities associated with cultural and racial identities. The objective is to collaboratively address your goals at a pace comfortable for you. I focus on emotions, identity, and interpersonal processes to enhance self-awareness and self-efficacy in your daily life.
