About me

Hi, thanks for stopping by! The founding principles I have based my professional practice on are: empathy, respect, non-judgement and self-awareness. Very well acquainted personally and professionally with Anxiety, I have developed a specialty in this area. My approach to Anxiety and Mental Health in general, is one of "working with" rather than "fighting against". I have found it effective to start therapy by focusing on where the client is at on any given moment, and together working our way to where the client wants to be. My therapy style is Solution-focused, with emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, also informed by Systems Theory, Humanistic and Psychodynamic concepts. I have always been fascinated with the study of the human mind, especially the unconscious, and the impact personal perspective has on the circumstances we experience.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session working together, we'll discuss important information about your history, main concerns/struggles, and goals for our sessions. I'll also answer any questions to the best of my abilities and focus on at least one technique that can be useful to you based on they information shared.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I would love to work with adults who are experiencing anxiety with any combination of symptoms, since this is the area I am most experienced with and interested in. Always the best part of my job has been the satisfaction of guiding a client's life for the better. I am a believer that taking small steps towards your goals can make all the difference between getting there, or never getting started. I hope this will be a safe space where we can explore together your concerns and past experiences, while establishing the direction of your hopes and dreams for the future.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Adults (including younger & older adults), couples, and family sessions if needed.

I have been struggling with severe anxiety since I lost my son 5 years ago. I take medication, but I need more tools to cope when that isn't enough. My PMHNP suggested Grow therapy, and I think Weena is going to be a great fit for me! She was kind and understanding and had great ideas to get me going in the right direction!

Best experience with a therapist I have had so far. Extremely compassionate and will never make you feel judged, while at the same time pulling from a variety of approaches to come up with a solution that works best for you.
