I am excited to meet you! I am a Licensed Therapist with 15 yrs of experience working w/ teens, adults and families. I have worked with individuals struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, infertility, and more. I am a first generation immigrant. I am a mother to two pre-teen boys and understand the difficulties that arise from being a parent. And my work with teens, allows me to have empathy for some of the current challenges they face as well. I find joy in repairing and strengthening bonds between teens and their parents by teaching them skills that will improve their ability to connect emotionally.

We started our company, ABC Therapeutic Solutions, with the goal of providing the best quality evidenced based therapy possible. Dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, impulsivity, family or relationship conflict and other mental health symptoms, can have a serious impact on your health. Our mission is to approach treatment from a total health perspective to help you find a balance that meets your emotional, psychological and physical needs.

It is imperative for me to provide my clients with a warm, safe, and comfortable therapeutic space in which they will be invited to share, explore, and grow. Building a healthy collaborative relationship with my clients provides a foundation for our work together. I not only seek to alleviate symptoms and foster self-understanding, but I also encourage my clients to learn from their symptoms. I have found that increasing one's sense of awareness and balance can be helpful in many situations. At the same time, I do my best to meet clients where they are in their lives and work at their pace.

Authenticity, genuineness, and deep empathy form the foundation for the way I find connection with my clients. I come from a client-centered approach where unconditional positive regard drives the work we will do. I’ve always believed that people are as different on the inside as they look on the outside and it is my job to connect with that special uniqueness to best support your growth. I approach therapy with compassion, warmth, a sense of humor, and without judgement. My goal is to provide a safe and comforting space for you to process any struggles, big and small, while learning to increase happiness and decrease pain.

I work with anyone who is experiencing a wide range of social and emotional difficulties including sadness, anxiety, phobias, family and life transitions and friendships. I provide individual therapy, family therapy and parent coaching in a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in order to address individual needs and concerns. In addition, I provide support and guidance in promoting additional understanding of family dynamics and facilitating a better channel of communication between family members. I enjoy working collaboratively with families to find unique ways to help their children or themselves to progress and heal.

I believe that effective therapy is built on trust and unconditional empathy. My treatment approach is rooted in the importance of the individual, using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, and Somatic skills. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, judgment free space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. I am dedicated to taking the time to truly get to know you, so that I can incorporate your interests into treatment in creative ways. I want you to not only process your past, but be equipped with practical tools to fuel your future.

I see my work with people as helping them to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Because we are all different, my services are highly individualized and I do not have a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I take a collaborative approach to working with you. Together, we will first understand your issues and then find better ways of coping, by learning and practicing skills that will allow you to make long-term changes in your life.

My passion is providing therapy and supporting people experiencing a wide array of difficulties, ranging from physical and mental health struggles, to social and environmental deficits. I recently served as a crisis counselor for the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, where I held space for people of all walks of life struggling with suicide and mental health crises. I have experience in working with children, adolescents, and young, middle, and older adults across a wide array of identities and life difficulties, including depression, anxiety, suicide, trauma, psychosis, relationship issues, and grief and loss.
