Great to meet you!

I use an integrative approach combining DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients build coping skills and resilience. Skill building from DBT therapy addresses emotional regulation, CBT reframes negative thoughts, and Solution-Focused Therapy leverages strengths and sets goals, while mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness for overall emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in OCD, Anxiety, Addiction, and LGBTQ+ issues. With a holistic approach that integrates DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness, I empower individuals to explore their identities, build effective coping skills, and achieve meaningful personal growth beyond societal and cultural expectations.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, clients work towards clear goals like understanding triggers, building coping skills, and developing a strong sense of self beyond societal expectations. Together, we address emotional challenges and patterns to foster empowerment and lasting change. Clients leave each session with practical tools for daily life, feeling more equipped to navigate difficulties and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
