Welcome! Embracing your unique journey takes courage. Are you ready to uncover your story, improve self-awareness, and overcome challenges? Are you someone who is experiencing a major life tradition and could use some support? Or maybe you are struggling with anxiety that is holding you back from thriving? I support those experiencing issues related to: depression, anxiety, self-esteem and body image. All backgrounds find comfort and acceptance in my practice. If this is your first-time seeking therapy, I can help you navigate the process and find comfort in your new beginning. Let's begin this transformative path together.

I offer a collaborative and integrative approach to therapy through a blend of CBT, DBT and other modalities. Together, we'll reframe negative thoughts, build coping skills, and promote emotional regulation. Whether you're battling depression, anxiety, or navigating life's challenges, my approach empowers lasting change.

In my philosophy, mental health knows no bounds, be it age, race, gender, or background. This philosophy is mirrored in the safe haven I create for my clients—one free of judgment and characterized by acceptance. In a world where complexity is the norm, seeking support is an act of self-care, a testament to strength rather than vulnerability.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
