Like many people, I was skeptical regarding the benefits of therapy, but through my own therapeutic experience, I learned how rewarding it is. Thus, what led me to my journey as a therapist. As a clinician, I thrive to be a portal/vessel that helps my clients reconcile their concerns and grow during the therapeutic process. Part of this process is holding a safe, confidential, and comfortable space where the client can release their thoughts without any concerns of being judge by someone; but to the contrary, I am there to help you organize those thoughts and concerns.

​

My belief is that change is ever constant and happens around us even when we believe things are static. Many people get stuck in a typical step by step life that follows the same order and there are some of us who may even be afraid to go in a different direction. As a clinician, I challenge my clients to attempt a different way of approaching things, by utilizing different therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness techniques.

Through my own personal therapeutic journey, I realized that the field was lacking my specific demographic and that is what initially drove me to become a therapist. It is my hope that clients from underrepresented and under-served communities will see someone from their community and feel comfortable with starting their own therapeutic process. Reconnect MFC has a similar philosophy of working in communities that may lack access to therapeutic resources in a private practice format.
