About me

Hi I'm Sisi: Thank you for reaching out! My top priority is to ALWAYS ensure your well-being as well as providing you with the necessary skills and tools to help you achieve your goals. My approach to therapy is very person-centered and integrative meaning that your needs come first and that you are an equal partner in the planning of your care. Along with traditional talk therapy, I also like to incorporate holistic and medical remedies to ensure your treatment is tailored to you and your needs. My specialities include but not limited depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness, substance abuse, and family issues. It would be my honor to join you on your journey to healing.

Get to know me

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

Our first session will be the initial consultation not an actual therapy session. This way we can get to know each other a bit and see if we are a good fit before diving into the the actual work. This ensures us a smooth treatment process and help with building the therapeutic relationship

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am motivated and committed to what I do. As your therapist I am also your support and advocate that will treat you as an equal.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have experience working with clients of all ages but specifically now work with kids 12 years and up and adults 18-50 years old.

As someone with a chronic illness that has gotten in the way of therapy, my first session with Sisi brought me a lot of hope that I can get somewhere this time knowing that she is familiar with and able to accommodate those specific needs. She's flexible and a great listener as well.

My initial visit was an excellent experience. Sisi was warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about her work as a mental health therapist. Her holistic, solution-oriented approach resonated with me, and I’m truly excited to begin this journey toward the support and healing I’ve been seeking.
