As a therapist, I specialize in providing support and guidance to children, adolescents, and adults facing a range of challenges, including behavior disorders, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual assault, and trauma. Using a personalized approach, I create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their emotions and experiences. Through techniques such as play therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care, I empower individuals to overcome obstacles, foster resilience, and embark on a journey towards healing and growth.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my approach to therapy, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel safe and supported. Central to my practice is the belief in the inherent worth and autonomy of each individual, which guides my person-centered approach. By actively listening and empathizing with my clients, I aim to understand their unique experiences and perspectives. I also employ a solution-focused approach, focusing on strengths and empowering clients to identify and work towards their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As your therapist, I promise to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I am also committed to maintaining confidentiality and respecting your autonomy and boundaries. We will embark on self-discovery and personal growth together, with me as your dedicated ally and advocate.
