Great to meet you!

I have more than 8 years of clinical experience working with children, teenagers and adults experiencing issues related to substance use, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts. I create a safe, empathetic and culturally sensitive space where you can feel comfortable to share and discuss your thoughts, emotions, and past experiences. My approaches are warm and strength based and we will work together to find ways to reconnect with your authentic self.

My approach to therapy

Treatment interventions I am trained in include Trauma Informed Care, TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, CPT, Motivational interviewing, and psychoanalytic training. I am providing individual, couple, and family therapy.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy journey can be scary. We will work together to explore and address the roots of conflict while paying close attention to their effects on the present moment. During sessions, you will find new ways to cope with life’s challenges, and achieve your goals.
