Mind-body approach
My journey in the counseling field began in 2009, not as a practitioner, but as a client. This personal experience ignited my passion for therapy and led me to enroll in a comprehensive counseling education program in 2010. Over the next seven years, I immersed myself in the study of the counseling profession, developing a deep understanding of its principles and practices. As an integrative therapist, I employ evidence-based modalities that prioritize the establishment of a strong therapeutic alliance. My approach is grounded in neuroscience, focusing on brain-based interventions that empower clients to: 1. Restructure thought patterns 2. Redefine personal values 3. Reconstruct internal belief systems Operating from a wellness model, I believe in tapping into each individual's inner resilience to facilitate personal growth and transformation. My goal is to guide clients towards becoming the best version of themselves, unlocking their potential for lasting positive change. With over a decade of experience in the field, both as a client and a professional, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. This dual insight allows me to offer empathetic, effective, and transformative therapeutic experiences tailored to each client's needs. Embark on your journey of self-discovery and growth with a therapist who understands the path firsthand. Together, we'll harness the power of evidence-based practices and your innate resilience to create meaningful, sustainable change in your life.

I closely monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. I've found this approach to be particularly effective for treating trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.
