Utilizing Psychodynamic Therapy, Person- Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy I’ve developed an eclectic approach to therapy because no individual is like another.
I believe everyone needs and deserves a safe space to address barriers preventing them from navigating through life the way they desire, thus I seek to foster safe and comfortable environments for those oppressed and marginalized. Living in unprecedented times, it is especially important to have support, awareness, and knowledge of effective coping skills to manage life's stressors. I believe it’s also important to process the lives we’ve already experienced and explore how this cultivates our current worldview.

I believe that you are more than a diagnosis, disorder or disability. I would like to work with clients who are open to explore their history, make connections to the present, and prepare for the future. My ideal client is willing to be open and honest during the process of therapy, and use the safe space as a way to learn and grow. I would like to collaborate with individuals who are open to be challenged and do the work outside of therapy that will help them commit to life-long changes. As a self-proclaim foodie, I am also looking for clients who have interests in food and how our food consumption affects our mood and behavior.

Many years ago, French Philosopher Albert Camus wrote, "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer and that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger, something better, pushing right back". I believe therapy is an opportunity to find your invincible summer, the something stronger that resides within. Emotional pain is real, sometimes overwhelming, even paralyzing. Therapy is a safe place where we explore what's not working for you and together find solutions and make adjustments to restore balance and tranquility.
