About me

Mental health is an essential aspect of our overall well-being. As individuals, we go through several changes in our lives. Some of those changes can be very distressing. You may feel stuck, anxious, or depressed. You may not know, where to turn. As a therapist, my goal is dedicated to helping you navigate the right therapeutic path to optimize wellness. No matter how big or small the problem is, we work as a team, to explore past or present issues. I specialize in working with individuals affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self-esteem.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I primarily use evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address various problems. CBT is a structured tool that helps us become aware of our unhelpful thoughts & replace them with positive ones. My approach comes from a place of compassion and deep empathy by creating an environment of healing. My goal is to help you navigate through past traumas/experiences, work on overcoming unhealthy defense mechanisms, and focus on cultivating and acquiring Coping skills.
