High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I am a culturally affirming therapist who uses CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches to create a supportive space for clients to face challenges, cope with trauma and grief, and build confidence. I provide individual and group therapy and work as a crisis counselor supporting people struggling with suicidal behaviors. Therapy can help you live intentionally, improve relationships, manage stress, and cultivate self-love. I hope you take the courageous step to reach out and see how I can support you.
