As Soren Kierkegaard says, “Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.” I have years of training in forensic psychology and counseling techniques dealing with adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and marriage and family counseling. My specialization includes group therapy in areas of intimacy and addiction. I am specialized in dealing with moderate and more serious mental health issues especially anxiety, impulsivity, and depression.
I come from a multicultural background, having to experience life in many aspects. My approach is based on client needs. I use a variety of treatment modalities depending on what is best for my client: humanistic, eclectic, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, experiential, existential, and structural family therapy.
I believe we are on a journey to learn, perfect and better ourselves. I believe in freedom of spirit, beauty of mind and nature. I believe we are on a mission to evolve and create miracles, to work with our weaknesses and celebrate our strengths. It would be an honor and I would feel privileged should you choose to work with me.
