About My Clients
I work with teens, adults, couples. I offer support for those feeling lost and overwhelmed with difficult transitions, low self-esteem, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and multicultural identity issues. My goal is to meet you where you are while simultaneously helping you get to where you want to go.
My Background and Approach
I believe mental health is not the absence of mental illness but rather the presence of balance, acceptance, and the self-efficacy to believe one can work through uncomfortable emotions and handle whatever may come. I integrate Psychodynamic Therapy with other evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Therapy to best suit the client's needs. I take a holistic approach as I believe challenges in one area of life influence the rest. We will collaboratively work together to identify and dismantle the root of issues and develop greater awareness and understanding of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When we become aware of the function of our behaviors, we can break free from dysfunctional patterns and establish healthier coping skills. Our work together will not only provide insight into your challenges but also highlight your inherent strengths and positive attributes. My goal is to help you develop the tools to cultivate inner peace regardless of external triggers.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we live in an interdependent world, and as such, I strive to advocate for equality and inclusivity. My goal is to emphasize the value of awareness—about mental health, the world in which we live, and the individual experiences that help shape us. I also practice the healing guidance that I offer clients; I have experienced the benefits of personal therapy and know what it is like to sit on the other side as a client. My hope is to guide you in experiencing the same benefits and transformative changes as I have.
