About My Clients

I support clients in their wellness journey by helping them feel more in control over their own lives, and get a better understanding of what they want for themselves. I meet with individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds struggling with mostly anxiety, depression, body image issues, and relationships issues.

My Background and Approach

I originally trained as a Psychodynamic clinician to help clients learn to identify and address underlying root causes of their current struggles. I strongly believe that understanding and processing emotions from the past can alleviate current symptoms that clients may now be dealing with. As a depth-oriented therapist, I find it powerful to help people understand where they come from and gain insight into their own life decisions. Although my work is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment theory, I also draw upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness using Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) tools. Depending on what my clients' needs are, I use the best approach to assist my clients in improving their quality of life. CBT can help you identify maladaptive thinking and behavioral patterns, and implement specific strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, body image issues, etc

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Due to my background, and my rich experience working with a diverse population, I consider myself a multicultural therapist who works collaboratively with my clients to help them embrace their inner-self and become the best version of themselves. I create a safe environment that welcomes individuals from different cultural, religious and racial backgrounds and all gender identities.
