Do you feel like you are being hit with one wave after another, and you cannot catch your breath? Our sense of well being can be compromised by any number of issues from large to small. Stop. Take a minute. And Just Breathe…
I am passionate about creating a safe space for growth and healing. My goal is for my clients to not just survive but to thrive. I create a custom culturally sensitive, strengths based, and solution focused plan for each client.
My therapeutic approach includes but is not limited to mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral strategies. When appropriate, I refer out and connect to related resources. Engaging in therapy can help you build new tools and find your way to solid ground where you can breathe freely and live your best life.
