Strengths
I bring over 13 years of nursing and advanced practice experience, combining psychiatric expertise with a comprehensive understanding of physical health. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, culturally sensitive, and individualized to each client's needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)-informed techniques, supportive psychotherapy, and medication management when appropriate. I focus on building genuine therapeutic relationships where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment. Together, we identify underlying concerns, strengthen emotional resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and create achievable goals for lasting emotional wellness. I believe effective mental health care involves treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
Ideal clients
I help people who feel sad, tense, stuck, or alone. You may face stress, fear, loss, past hurt, or life change. You want to feel safe, seen, and heard. We can set goals, learn new ways to cope, build new hope, and work toward peace and calm, joy, trust, and ease, one step at a time, in your own way.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify negative thought patterns, understand how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies. Through practical exercises, we work to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and self-doubt while building confidence, resilience, and lasting emotional wellness.
