I aim to create a warm and nurturing environment where clients feel supported as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, self-esteem struggles, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is deeply rooted in evidence-based practices, primarily CBT and DBT, and I prioritize tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs through collaboration and feedback. I believe in the power of self-expression and often encourage clients to uncover their strengths and insights through creative outlets and reflective practices. Creativity is a cornerstone of my work—I often incorporate art-based techniques to help clients explore their emotions, foster healing, and develop new coping skills.
Cultural sensitivity is central to my practice, and I strive to honor the diverse identities and backgrounds of my clients. I understand how cultural experiences shape emotional well-being, and I aim to provide a space where everyone feels respected, valued, and heard.
Grounded in self-compassion and mindfulness, I help clients build resilience and self-awareness, empowering them to achieve their personal goals. Whether you’re working through life stressors, rebuilding confidence, or processing past trauma, I am here to walk alongside you. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, offering individualized care to support your journey toward growth, connection, and fulfillment. Together, we can tackle life’s challenges and move toward a brighter, more meaningful future.
