I possess specialized experience in working with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma that are hindering their day-to-day lives. I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. We face many unique pressures and stressors as we discover who we are and what we want. I am passionate about helping manage these challenges that frequently arise within family, friendships, or self-identity.
I view you as an expert on your story. My approach has often been termed “conversational” by clients, who often felt that therapy did not feel like therapy.
Therapy works best when there is a trusting therapist-client relationship, curiosity for self-discovery, and honesty. I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best version of yourself!
Therapy is not just for people with mental illnesses, someone grieving a loss, or someone who experienced a trauma. Therapy can reduce stress, improve relationships, and help with decision-making.

I incorporate the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Model as a therapeutic intervention to counteract negative thoughts through self-written statements, identify the problem and think about the possible solution, find new chances for positive thoughts, and end each day by thinking about its best part.
Mindfulness-based techniques are generally administered through mindful meditation focused on the present moment. Clients are taught to focus on a particular phenomenon (such as the breath), and as thoughts wander, they are asked to bring their awareness back to the present moment.
