My Approach

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based, helping you become empowered through building skills, improving relationships, and strengthening your relationship and confidence in yourself. I believe in catering to your specific needs and the goals you would like to achieve. The most common theoretical modalities that I use are Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-based approaches. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.

My communication style

I value consistency and dependability. I am committed to supporting you through your journey by providing a calm, safe, nonjudgmental space. I believe that therapy sessions can be some of the most intimate moments and I feel that it is a true privilege to be a part of that journey. I understand the depth of how alone someone may feel during challenging times and my intent is to create a space where you feel safe and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in this field began almost 20 years ago after pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I began working in human services with families in a variety of settings and after 10 dedicated years in the field, I decided to pursue further education and achieved my Master's degree in Social Work. I have been practicing therapy since and have experience working with a multitude of issues with a diverse population.
