My passion is to help individuals explore and begin to understand their mental health by helping them "connect the dots" of their lives. My mission is to help clients unravel the complexities of the human mind. I recognized the importance of delving into the past to illuminate the present and understand the “whys” behind the tangled web of thoughts and actions that shape our daily experiences. I am a very laid back therapist who provides a safe and nurturing space to explore your inner self. Please join me on this journey, where together, we can uncover the hidden truths, “connect the dots,” and have a deeper understanding of life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, I will discuss the process of therapy and confidentiality. I will get any missing details/information about the potential client. Then, I will ask the client just to share some things with me to build rapport and get to know each other.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

I use a psychodynamic treatment approach in therapy when working with clients who are dealing with challenges that are somehow related to past trauma in their childhood.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT in my practice when clients are wanting to identify their automatic negative thoughts and learn coping strategies such as reframing to challenge these thoughts that are unhelpful and stress inducing.

Attachment-based

I use attachment-based therapy when exploring relationships and how attachment is linked to childhood experiences with caregivers/parents.
