About My Clients

Let's go on a journey of exploration together, where we can discover ways to create comfort, find stillness, overcome challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. My practice focuses on working with those who may be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship issues, codependency, or self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I’m here to help you uncover insights and develop strategies that align with your goals.

My Background and Approach

I have a genuine appreciation for evidence-based treatment approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT). Through my experience assisting individuals with anxiety and mood disorders at the IOP/PHP levels of care, I have witnessed the valuable insights and coping skills that CBT and DBT can provide in dealing with life's difficulties. That's why CBT and DBT will be the main treatment modalities guiding our work together. Additionally, we will incorporate mindfulness into our sessions to help us achieve moments of calm and clarity. As a certified Gottman Level 1 clinician, I am enthusiastic about supporting you and your partner/s in deepening your understanding of each other, strengthening your connection, and navigating the motion of life and your relationship.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strongly believe in supporting and embracing people from diverse backgrounds such as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, individuals with disabilities, Indigenous communities, refugees, the elderly, women in fields dominated by men, those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, and other underrepresented groups. It's important to me to be a reliable ally and actively work towards breaking down the barriers that hold these communities back. I strive to create an environment where their voices are valued, respected, and given the attention they deserve. Together, we can stand in unity and create a society that celebrates the beauty of our differences and provides equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of where they come from or who they are. By working together to eliminate prejudice and promote respect, we can build a world that recognizes and appreciates the unique experiences and contributions of all individuals.
