Masters Social Worker
As a recent graduate with a Master of Social Work and over 10 years of experience in mental health, I bring a solid foundation of clinical knowledge and real-world experience to my work as an outpatient therapist. My expertise spans a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more serious conditions such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder. I specialize in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their emotions and challenges.
What I offer is a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy that focuses on meeting each individual where they are in their journey. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients build coping skills, manage their symptoms, and improve emotional regulation. With my background in mental health, I’m particularly skilled in addressing complex issues and offering crisis intervention when needed.

I deeply understand the discomfort and difficulty that can come with seeking mental health support, especially when cultural beliefs and stigmas are involved. I know that in many communities, mental health struggles may be viewed with hesitation or even shame, and reaching out for help can feel like a challenging and vulnerable step. I want my clients to know that I truly see and respect their cultural identity and the unique experiences they bring to therapy. My goal is to create a space where they can feel understood, safe, and supported, without judgment.
I believe it’s important to learn not only about a client’s mental health history but also about their personal story, values, and cultural background. What are the things that matter most to them? How do their cultural beliefs and experiences shape how they view mental health? I want to understand their concerns, fears, and hopes, so we can work together to create a treatment plan that feels comfortable, relevant, and empowering.
If you’re feeling unsure about seeking help because of cultural barriers or stigma, I encourage you to reach out. I am here to listen, to support, and to work with you in a way that honors your unique journey. You don’t have to navigate this alone—I’m committed to helping you find the strength and tools to overcome challenges and achieve your mental health goals. Your well-being matters, and together, we can work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
