As an integrative therapist, I use the approach/es that most resonate with you to help you understand the causes to your distress as well as identify ways to help you cope in a personalized manner and attain your goals. With validation, compassion, an open-mindset, and flexibility to healing, I can help you be, do and feel better to live a happier life. Taking care of yourself and establishing your boundaries are key. Please feel free to ask me any questions, and I'll reply as soon as possible. I deeply care about each person I do therapy for and can provide necessary referrals. You've made it this far! Continue taking the steps towards booking your therapy session and strengthen yourself. My best to you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The pursuit of health, happiness, and healing are aspects that we all strive for, and that can be accelerated with additional support and insight oriented therapy. I work with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I have experience in treating a variety of conditions, such as depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, and behavioral issues. We will work together to create goals to achieve positive mental health.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic; collaborative. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all approach, I adapt my treatments to best fit your needs. My goal is to find the most effective way to help you recognize and utilize your own internal strengths and resources. I strive to understand people as individuals rather than specific labels.

Compassion Focused
CMT is comprised of guided exercises—including role-playing, visualization, meditation, and activities intended to foster appreciation for daily life—that aim to help the client recognize what compassion feels like and become better at practicing it, both toward themselves and toward others.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT with my clients and families. It’s helped clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
The treatment is based in attachment theory but also integrates psychodynamic, developmental, trauma, social learning, and cognitive behavioral theories. Therapeutic sessions include the child and parent or primary caregiver. The primary goal of CPP is to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver as a vehicle for restoring the child's cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning. Treatment also focuses on contextual factors that may affect the caregiver-child relationship.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy adopts a holistic approach that focuses on free will, human potential, and self-discovery. It aims to help you develop a strong and healthy sense of self, explore your feelings, find meaning, and focus on your strengths.
