Great to meet you!

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, California. My practice blends both psychological approach as well as eastern wisdom. With a diverse background of professional and life experiences, I bring empathy, warmth, and a solution-focused mindset to my clients. My goal is to help clients alleviate suffering, boost their productivitiy, and enhance well-being.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ACT and mindfulness; focusing on helping clients identify and reframe negative patterns. I also incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy to empower clients to find practical solutions to their challenges. Additionally, I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is effective for trauma recovery. I have extensive experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and also providing couples therapy. My goal is to create a supportive, empathetic environment that fosters healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we focus on building trust and understanding. We’ll begin by getting to know each other, discussing your concerns, and conducting a thorough assessment of the issues at hand. Together, we’ll explore tailored treatment plans and set achievable goals. I prioritize a collaborative approach, ensuring that your preferences and feedback shape our journey. Throughout the process, I’m committed to making therapy as convenient and effective as possible, fostering a supportive and healing space.
