As a dedicated mental health professional, I believe that healing is a collaborative journey between client and therapist. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy, combined with a client-centered perspective, to offer personalized care. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly and work toward meaningful change. I use CBT techniques to help you understand and reframe negative thought patterns, making it easier to respond to challenging emotions and situations more effectively. Psychodynamic approach explores past experiences, unconscious thoughts, and how they influence present-day behavior. Through this exploration, we can uncover and address deep-rooted emotional issues that may be impacting your well-being.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding your goals in therapy. We will review your personal history and present challenges. I will share more about my approach and we will discuss logistics and expectations for our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I prioritize a compassionate, empathetic, and client-driven approach, believing that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will explore your experiences and work toward a sense of empowerment and growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I understand the impact that depression, anxiety, chronic pain, immigration, and substance use can have on your life, and I’m here to help. If you're someone who's just starting therapy, I’ll help you ease into the process. I also have experience working with people who are formerly incarcerated, helping them work through trauma, rebuild, and find a new path forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients to identify automatic thoughts that contribute to feelings of anxiety and low mood and utilize reframing techniques to manage symptoms. I encourage self-determination and being an active participant in your own journey.

I felt absolutely safe to be completely open and vulnerable. I felt heard and understood. Amazing experience. I cannot wait until my next session.
