Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, my goal is to provide effective, quality care to my clients. I've been working as a psychotherapist for the past 7 years. I specialize in reducing anxiety, depression, increase self-awareness, explore individualism, decreasing stress and managing negative emotions, exploring past relationships and experiences as it relates to our present relationships, decisions and cognitive schema.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am an active, participatory therapist focused on the promotion of self-awareness and emotional intelligence by teaching my clients to “read” their emotions and distinguish healthy from unhealthy feelings.

My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I believe growth and change begins when you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking, so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

What you can expect from our first session

We will explore effective ways to understand, adapt and shift your mindset, in order to improve your thought process, decrease your stress and become more resilient to life's challenges. You will be able to create a willpower to face the fears that are causing distress in your life and gain more insight from your experiences while achieving greater sense of self.
