Great to meet you!

My expertise lies in a wide range of areas including trauma, crisis intervention, PTSD, bereavement/loss, depression, anxiety, sexual assault, domestic violence, LGBTQI issues, couples/marriage therapy, family therapy, immigration, dual diagnosis, and suicide prevention/intervention, among others.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am committed to providing Cognitive Behavioral & Solution Focused Therapy, offering compassionate support and guidance during challenging times. I understand that seeking help can be daunting, and I am here to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. My goal is to assist you in overcoming obstacles and achieving your life goals and aspirations by tapping into your resilience, strength, and potential.

What you can expect from our first session

I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, fostering trust and collaboration to facilitate growth and healing. I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey towards personal development and well-being. Your courage in taking the first step towards therapy is commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support you along the way.
