From a young age, I’ve always felt a deep desire to help others, even dreaming of solving big challenges like ending world hunger. I’m deeply moved by the struggles people face, which is why I’m dedicated to supporting individuals through their pain. My approach is collaborative—we’ll work together to uncover your inner conflicts and guide you toward healing, so you can rediscover your joy and passion.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
the first session is a collaborative process, and you are encouraged to ask questions, express your needs, and I will provide feedback to ensure our relationship is a good fit. i
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe learning and growth are lifelong processes. Even with 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I continually seek to expand my knowledge to better serve you. I value the therapeutic relationship deeply and strive to ensure you feel truly seen and heard. This journey isn’t easy—it’s a daily choice to grow, reclaim your life, and embrace your destiny. The reward, however, is profound, and it motivates you to keep pushing forward. I’m not here to fix or save you; I’m here to walk alongside you, building a meaningful connection as we work together toward your goals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to serve adults who feel stuck, unfulfilled, and ready to break free from limiting patterns that have held them back. If you find yourself living a marginal life, feeling sad and don't know why, seeking validation from others, or feeling like you’re not enough, it’s time to shift your perspective. Together, we’ll uncover the inner conflicts and stories that have shaped your self-worth and held you back from the life you desire. I specialize in helping individuals who have tried everything but still struggle to achieve lasting change—whether in their career, relationships, or personal growth. With over 20 years of experience and expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), life coaching, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques, I’ll guide you in finding your purpose, transforming your mindset, and reclaiming your life. Let’s work together to create a future that aligns with your true potential.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past twenty years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge recurring 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.
Eclectic
In the context of mental health, an eclectic therapist may integrate elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, and other therapeutic approaches. This flexibility allows therapists to adapt their interventions based on the client's unique situation, preferences, and the nature of their mental health concerns. I have been using eclectic therapy to provide a comprehensive and personalized treatment experience. I use a combination of behavioral interventions, exploration of underlying emotions and thoughts, mindfulness techniques, strategic life coaching techniques and more, depending on what is deemed most beneficial for my client.
Play Therapy
I have over 20 years of experience working with children and specialize in using Emotion Identification Games. Through cards, stories, and interactive activities, I help children learn to recognize and express their feelings in healthy ways. This approach supports emotional regulation and creates a safe and supportive environment for them to thrive.
