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.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am a true believer in the mind and body connection and how they need to work together to achieve our best selves. CBT is a great modality to embrace this concept as it also believes that ours thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all intertwined with each other of these ideas you can change all.

I just finished my first session and she was wonderful. I'm excited to continue with her. She made me feel heard and validated.

Absolutely amazing. Truly listened, very understanding and really tried to get to know where my mind is at in that moment. Very kind, patient and empathetic. This is exactly what I was looking for and needed.
