I have extensive experience providing clinical services to children, adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, and families. My practice is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed, and integrative therapeutic approaches. I am skilled in identifying behavioral patterns, emotional barriers, and underlying trauma responses, and I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and non-judgmental space where clients can develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and achieve measurable therapeutic progress. My clinical interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based interventions, Psychoeducation, Problem-Solving Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Group Therapy/Facilitator. I have worked across outpatient, inpatient, community, and behavioral health settings, providing diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, individual and group counseling, group facilitation, crisis intervention, substance abuse, and supportive services for clients navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, identity challenges, relationship stressors, family dynamics, and life transitions. My clinical approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and strengths-based, emphasizing empowerment, autonomy, and sustainable internal growth. My personal background also informs my sensitivity to diverse experiences with a multicultural lens to my clinical work. Currently, I am pursuing my doctorate degree in forensic psychology with Walden University.
