Hello and welcome to my profile! With a background in evidence-based psychotherapy, community social work & providing culturally competent counseling, I aim to create a healthy rapport with clients free of bias & judgment. I will always validate your concerns and perspective; though at times I may extend alternative recommendations. I am a seasoned professional with a passion for helping diverse clients navigate substance misuse/addiction issues, relationship problems with romantic partners or loved ones, depression, stress, anxiety, and many other areas of concern. I have an easygoing personality. My treatment approach is ethical, objective, personalized & empathetic. As your provider, I value your time, insight and active collaboration throughout your counseling regimen. Your treatment goals are important to me. Change is attainable, but we must work together to get there.
