About My Clients
My clients are parents--often mothers--who are facing big parenting challenges and perhaps also coming to terms with the way they were parented. Anxiety, depression and stress are often what leads them to therapy. Many of my clients also struggle with substance use disorders and addictive behaviors (their own or someone they love). Together we work towards solutions to gain clarity and reduce worry, sadness and stress.
My Background and Approach
My background in community mental health programs gave me the honor of working with many teens, adults and families recovering from substance abuse, addiction mental health and behavioral issues. I use a combination of evidence-based therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and more. These approaches help my clients to work towards solutions and to feel better.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm the parent of adults and teens and it's the hardest and most rewarding job I've ever had. I am also a descendant of immigrants, a lifelong learner, and social justice-minded human. It is important to me to provide culturally informed and affirming care to all of my clients. I take time outside of sessions to increase my knowledge about culture, race, sexual orientation, and lived experiences, especially those that are different from my own so that I can provide a more effective therapeutic experience.
