My practice is focused on utilizing culturally responsive, trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions to provide quality care. I assist adolescents and adults in navigating through life's hardships while building on personal strengths and developing daily life skills to increase healthy functioning. I help patients create goals that promote insight, build resilience to adapt to difficult situations, and increase flexibility to manage unpleasant emotions. My work is person-centered and collaborative as I tailor treatment to each patient’s needs. I am certified in numerous evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). I actively utilize my training in session while implementing techniques from Interpersonal, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Strength-Based therapies to ensure that my patient’s concerns are being addressed appropriately. I provide an empathetic and listening presence for my patients to promote safety and comfort in session and the therapeutic relationship.
