I view therapy as a personal journey of transformation, growth, and evolution, and accordingly, tailor treatment to meet the needs of each individual. I practice a supportive and integrative approach using tools from psychodynamic, relational, solution focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy modalities within a positive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment. These techniques help clients gain an understanding about the root causes of their anxiety, depression, relational problems, behavioral patterns and other habits that might be hindering them from living their best life. I am aware of, and sensitive to, the importance of each person’s ethnic, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds and account for these distinctions when developing my approach.

My clients come to me for a variety of reasons; some feel anxious, depressed, hopeless or helpless and others feel stuck or lost about how to move forward with a particular issue. I seek to empower each person to reach identified goals, overcome fears, and reframe thoughts that are prohibitive to positive results and increased feelings of fulfillment in life. As a compassionate agent of change, I help my clients cultivate skills that will make their lives feel easier, provide a space that is their own, and tend to the most important relationship they will ever have—the one they have with themselves.
