My areas of expertise includes Anxiety, ADHD, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Chronic Mental Illnesses, Depression, Eating Disorders OCD, Trauma related disorders, Schizophrenia and Sleep Disorders.

My approach to therapy

I believe in an individualized, nonjudgmental and empathetic approach. To provide the best support for everyone, I include psychoeducation, psychotherapy and counseling for the clients and their family members. I am dedicated to practice based on standards of care, formal guidelines and evidence-based-research.
