As a therapist, I help adults who may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, addiction, drug abuse, relationship issues, behavioral issues, and career coaching. I am dedicated to helping my clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and ultimately transcend mental health issues. I help my clients build emotional awareness so they can clearly see how emotion drives decisions and behaviors. Better emotional awareness will lead to decisions and behaviors that are more rationally grounded. My work focuses on helping clients engage in self exploration/reflection, develop self-compassion and empowerment, build emotional resiliency, reshape life narrative, and gain mastery over thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviors and life experiences. I believe each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, and can find their effortless action.
I use several evidenced based therapeutic modalities which include psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), humanistic and existential therapy, mindfulness, meditation, breath work and hypnotherapy. Drawing on these approaches we will create a customized treatment plan to serve your needs.
I appreciate the cultural values, life experience and world view my clients bring into therapy. I strive to create a therapeutic environment of non-judgement and acceptance, so my clients can feel free to be open and honest, share, explore, reflect and discover. These are the key elements for therapy to work.
