A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in working with clients and their families to achieve wellness goals. I understand the importance of a customized, culturally sensitive approach. I have received specialized training in behavioral and mental health assessment and management, as well as in delivering mental health support to vulnerable populations. I am passionate about cognitive restructuring and incorporate mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and other complementary therapies to help her clients thrive optimally.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe in using psychiatric medications thoughtfully, starting with the lowest effective dose to help manage your mood. We can also explore different therapy options, like interpersonal therapy, psychotherapy, Inner Child Work, and stress management techniques, to find what works best for you. We aim for you to leave each session feeling lighter, brighter, and more supported in your journey.
