Find your voice and pursue mental wellness through proven therapies with cultural sensitivity
Our Services
Individual Counseling
Individual therapy focuses on one’s history, triggers, relational and thought patterns, and coping skills with cultural sensitivity. I believe that every current issue can be traced back to our history and family pathology. I utilize Cognitive-behavioral therapy, known as CBT to assist in processing your thoughts to change your behavior and relationships. Challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors takes vulnerability, accountability and most importantly support.
*Christian Counseling is offered as well.
