I have 11 years of direct training and experience working with anxiety and depression as well as relationships, self-esteem issues and general self-improvement goals. My approach is compassionate and interactive, tailoring therapy to each individual while providing support and feedback to reach goals. I consider it a privilege to work in this field and to have worked with diverse populations across California, the Hawaiian Islands and most recently, Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This approach looks at thoughts and feelings that drive behaviors. CBT helps you achieve your goals by challenging your inner narrative.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

This approach helps you understand and regulate intense emotions. DBT is cognitive, but also utilizes mindfulness techniques.
