I've been in the field for 13 years now. I have always had a strong desire to help others, coupled with a desire to address social issues and create safe spaces for people. It doesn't matter who you are or where you've been, I will always have empathy and compassion for you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach I like to use to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The core idea is that our thoughts influence our emotions and actions. This is the very first treatment method I was taught in school.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
(ACT) is a type of therapy that helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them. The goal is to encourage psychological flexibility—helping people live in alignment with their values even in the presence of discomfort or challenges. When I use this in practice, it's a blend between mindfulness and and behavioral change strategies.
Compassion Focused
CFT is an approach designed to help people develop self-compassion and reduce feelings of shame, self-criticism, or distress. It integrates principles from evolutionary psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and neuroscience. I've found this one is especially helpful with people who have high levels of shame or self-criticism, because they often have overactive threat systems and underactive soothing systems. CFT focuses on activating the soothing system to amplify self-kindness and emotional balance.
Trauma-Focused CBT
TFCBT combines traditional CBT with specific strategies to address trauma. It involves understanding your thoughts and feelings, learning coping skills and talking about the trauma; along with strengthening core relationships.
Feminist
I was a women's studies major in my undergraduate, so this one is close to my heart. The Feminist Theory approach focuses on understanding the impact of social, cultural, and systemic factors—including (but certainly not limited to) gender roles, power imbalances, and oppression—on a person's mental health.
