I provide therapy to adults in English or Spanish experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, workplace burnout, high stress, low self-esteem, and family communication problems. My approach to therapy combines Attachment Theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Strengths-Focused, and Values-Focused methods for a holistic therapy experience.
I advocate for a comprehensive approach to well-being. I support clients in examining various facets of their lives, including mental and emotional health, relationships, career aspirations, physical activity, nutrition, and spirituality, if it plays a role for them.
I strive to consistently grow as a culturally competent therapist by fostering curiosity and staying mindful of my biases. Clients possess diverse cultural identities and life experiences, and acknowledging and endorsing these differences goes beyond ethical obligations—it reflects my genuine approach. Let's talk about your strengths and life challenges.
