Great to meet you!

As a therapist with 10 years of experience, I understand how traumatic events and stressors lead to depressive and anxious moods that may create an imbalance in emotional regulation. I approach therapy in a holistic, organic way that allows you to gain new tools to help you navigate your current emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy

I can provide access in creating your own toolbox to your healing. Using holistic therapeutic tools such as mindful practice, art therapy, behavioral emotional activation, crisis intervention modalities and cognitive behavior therapies.

What you can expect from me

My therapy style focuses in creating self-mechanisms that can support improving self-esteem issues, alleviate anxiety and depression mood symptoms. While allowing you to find a safe space to access these new tools. First session is you as new client assess with therapist if the dynamic is a good fit for your current need.
