I 'm here to support your journey toward healing, self-awareness, and personal growth—enhancing communication, self awareness, deepening connection, and improving satisfaction in your relationships, all of which contribute to a greater quality of life. My approach is straightforward, compassionate, and holistic, integrating trauma-informed care (including EMDR), relationship and communication strengthening (RLT), parenting support, and guidance through marriage, separation, divorce, and immigration-related challenges. I also provide a neurodivergence-affirming space. I look forward to the opportunity to help you. Please feel free to reach out with questions you may have.

Get to know me

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

We start with getting a clear understanding of the concerns that bring you in and how I can be helpful.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I'm open minded, understanding, holistic and will support your healing and growth no mater what the obstacles are.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

If you are overwhelmed, frustrated, feeling stuck and yet ready to take a step to grow and heal I’d love to help improve your emotional and relational functioning. Depending on your needs I use a combination of talk therapy with EMDR along with somatic, psychodynamic, relational (RLT) and cognitive therapy (CBT) approaches. I find it that most of my clients are young adults, adults dealing with life or relational issue, traumatic responses, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self worth and being accepted.

My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR helps people process and heal traumatic memories by using guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. In practice, I use EMDR to help clients reduce the emotional impact of past experiences in feel more controlled by present.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT approach is used to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns that affect their emotions and behaviors. I work with clients to develop coping healthier, thinking habits and coping strategies to improve their daily lives.

Psychodynamic

I use the psychodynamic approach to help clients explore how past experiences and unconscious thoughts, influence their current feelings and behaviors. In practice, I guide clients to gain insight into patterns and emotions, which supports deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

Somatic

I integrate somatic therapy by helping clients tune into bodily sensations, movement, and nervous system responses to gently process emotions and trauma, not just talk about them. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and paced to build safety and self-regulation, using the body as a resource for insight and healing.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I prioritize creating a safe, empathetic, and a non-judgmental space for clients feel fully accepted and understood. I focus on active listening and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to explore their thoughts and feelings of their own pace. In practice, I use this approach to empower individuals to access the inner resources and move towards person growth and self-actualization.
