My Approach to Therapy:
At Choosing Empowerment, we believe therapy should be as unique as you are. Our No BS approach combines authenticity, compassion, accountability, and cultural responsiveness, creating a space where you can show up as your whole, unapologetic self.
We take a holistic, person-centered approach, recognizing that mental health is influenced by your relationships, physical health, culture, spirituality, environment, lived experiences, and systemic barriers, including racism, oppression, and discrimination.
Our team integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, relational, strengths-based, and other evidence-informed approaches tailored to your needs. We offer virtual individual, couples, and family therapy, supporting clients navigating trauma, relationships, identity, life transitions, and generational patterns.
Rooted in the Power of Choice and the Power of Healthy Relationships, we prioritize genuine connection, practical tools, and compassionate accountability.
We're not here to fix you. We're here to help you build Mental Wealth, break cycles, and choose empowerment.
