About My Clients

I'm a dedicated, hardworking and passionate therapist who believes in individualizing treatment to your specific needs. My goal is to meet you with empathy, respect, and an open mind. My role as a counselor is to encourage, support, and guide her clients toward better self-discovery while creating a safe therapeutic environment for the client with the hope that the client will begin to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

My Background and Approach

Life challenges such as depression, anxiety, transitions, grief, relationships, or immigration can be difficult at all ages of life. Having a passionate therapist with a trauma-informed approach who believes in individualizing treatment to your specific needs is key during the healing process. I work from a strength-based and collaborative perspective. Some areas of concern that she has experience with include depression, anxiety, relationship ambivalence, and infidelity. I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques during therapy. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of obstacles, including: anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, ADHD.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones.
