Experience/Education
I earned my Master’s Degree from Roosevelt University, Chicago. Since then, I worked in community mental health for more than 10 years. I worked with children, adolescent, adults, and older adults in various settings such as school, group home, and the community. I also have experience working with at-risk children and adolescent.
Who I work with
I enjoy working with individuals experiencing various life transitions, depression, anxiety, work/life balance, self-esteem, BIPOC mental health, and stress- management.
My approach for therapy
My approach to therapy involves effective and practical mind-body connective techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and insight-oriented practices to help my clients explore how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected; as well as how having such insight can help my clients gain more control of their responses to stressors and emotional triggers. I help my clients explore the connection between their mind and their body to allow them to be their authentic self while processing their difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
