Treatment Approach

I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop practical coping strategies for managing complex mental health issues. My commitment to continuous learning allows me to integrate various therapeutic modalities, ensuring that my practice remains adaptable and effective.

I believe in the importance of collaboration and actively engage with my clients to set achievable goals. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive space that celebrates diversity, empowering individuals to navigate their mental health journeys with confidence and resilience. Through empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices, I guide my clients toward healing and well-being.

Outside The Therapy Session

“Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering. But when we pause, allow space, and simply meet whatever is happening inside us with radical acceptance, we begin to free ourselves from the trance of unworthiness.”

— Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

— Budda

In my outside-of-therapy life, I embrace a balanced approach that nurtures my well-being and fosters meaningful connections. As a mother of three—two beautiful boys and one amazing cat—I find immense joy in spending time with my family, which truly grounds me.

I prioritize self-care through activities like hiking and mindfulness practices, allowing me to recharge and appreciate the beauty of nature. I am committed to cultivating self-love and self-compassion, recognizing that these qualities are essential for my growth and well-being. By offering myself kindness and understanding, I create a positive foundation for both my personal life and my role as a therapist.

This balance between family time, self-reflection, and self-compassion fuels my passion for helping others, reminding me that personal well-being and professional fulfillment go hand in hand.
